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

Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease in which complex interactions between genes and environmental factors determine the disease phenotype. We have shown that genes from the non-autoimmune strains 129 and C57BL/6 (B6), commonly used for generating gene-targeted animals, can induce a lupus-like disease. Here, we conducted a genome-wide scan analysis of a cohort of (129 x B6)F2 C1q-deficient mice to identify loci outside the C1qa locus contributing to the autoimmune phenotype described in these mice. The results were then confirmed in a larger dataset obtained by combining the data from the C1q-deficient mice with data from previously reported wild-type mice. Both analyses showed that a 129-derived interval on distal chromosome 1 is strongly linked to autoantibody production. The B6 genome contributed to anti-nuclear autoantibody production with an interval on chromosome 3. Two regions were linked to glomerulonephritis: a 129 interval on proximal chromosome 7 and a B6 interval on chromosome 13. These findings demonstrate that interacting loci between 129 and B6 mice can cause the expression of an autoimmune phenotype in gene-targeted animals in the absence of any disrupted gene. They also indicate that some susceptibility genes can be inherited from the genome of non-autoimmune parental strains.
