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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease displaying different clinical courses. In this multifactorial disease complex environmental as well as genetic predisposition factors contribute to the disease manifestation. Following the candidate gene approach we analysed several genes of the NFkappaB cascade, which are prime candidates for MS because of their involvement in almost all immunological reactions. MS association was excluded for the NFKB1 and NFKB3 genes, which show remarkably low degrees of polymorphism. The genes of NFkappaB inhibitors exhibit more sequence variations. In the IKBL gene a predisposing allele was identified (13.1% vs 7.5% in the control group, P < 0.001). This difference in the allelic distribution was even increased in the group of MS patients with a relapsing remitting course of the disease (14.9%, P < 0.0001). A protecting allele was found in the NFKBIA promotor for the patients with primary progressive MS (15.4% vs 28.4% in the control group, P < 0.01). Given predisposing alleles increase MS risk dramatically in certain combinations.
