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

backgroundAn association between susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis and the Fc receptor-like 3 gene (FCRL3) has been reported in a Japanese population. A case-control study showed that the strongest evidence of the association was derived from a polymorphism in the promoter region of FCRL3, which has a regulatory effect on the expression of the gene.

objectiveTo validate the findings of this previous report by examining the -169C-->T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in a large cohort.

methods752 unrelated cases and 940 controls were genotyped. All the samples were from the same ethnic background as the original study. Genotyping was done using 5' allelic discrimination assays. Association between susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis and -169C-->T SNP was examined by chi(2) testing.

resultsAs in the previous study, the SNP showed significant differences between cases and controls (p = 0.022, odds ratio = 1.18, 95% confidence interval 1.02 to 1.35).

conclusionsThis result supports a genetic association of the FCRL3 promoter polymorphism with rheumatoid arthritis.
