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 a common inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by progressive neurological dysfunction. No curative therapy is currently available, and approximately 80-90% of afflicted individuals are ultimately disabled. Interferon beta (IFNbeta) has been shown to decrease clinical relapses, reduce brain disease activity, and possibly slow progression of disability. However, the overall effect of treatment is partial and a substantial number of patients are considered poor or nonresponders. For this report, we tested the pharmacogenomic effects of eight polymorphisms in the interferon receptor genes (IFNAR1 and IFNAR2) in a group of 147 patients undergoing open-label IFNbeta therapy. Overall, no significant differences in the distribution of responders and nonresponders, classified based on prospectively acquired primary and secondary clinical end points, were observed when stratified by any of the studied IFNAR gene polymorphisms. A trend detected with a single nucleotide polymorphism SNP 16469 (A/T) located at the third intron of the IFNAR1 gene, suggesting modest association with relapse-free status, will require confirmation in an independent data set. In addition, no significant association was observed of any of the IFNAR gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to MS, as studied by a family-based association analysis.
