1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) and microscopic polyangiitis are systemic autoimmune diseases characterized by the presence of ANCA in the sera of patients. Little is known about the aetiologic factors and genetic predisposition as well as the pathogenesis of these disease entities. A slightly decreased representation of HLA-DRB1*13 and HLA-DQB1*0603 individuals was observed in our cohort of ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis (AASV) patients compared with controls. In addition, HLA-DRB1*04 individuals were over-represented in a subgroup of patients with WG in end-stage renal disease as a result of renal vasculitis. In order to identify other genes relevant for these diseases, we investigated highly polymorphic markers in the vicinity of several immunorelevant genes, i.e. tumour necrosis factor (TNF)alpha, IL-2, IL-5 receptor alpha (IL-5RA), in a group of 102 patients with AASV and compared the representation with controls. Furthermore, functional polymorphisms were directly analysed in the promotor region of TNFalpha as well as in the coding region of the FcgammaIIRA genes. Polymorphisms of the TNFalpha promotor (TNF-308) as well as in the FcgammaIIRA gene were excluded as risk factors for the disease in our cohort. No major phenotype distribution differences were observed between patients and controls for the IL-2 and IL-5RA microsatellites. Most importantly, several haplotypes on chromosome 6p appeared strongly associated with proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA+ AASV. Thus, as in other autoimmune diseases, different predisposing factors play differential aetiopathogenic roles in various groups of AASV patients.
