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

The complex inheritance involved in multiple sclerosis (MS) risk has been extensively investigated, but our understanding of MS genetics remains rudimentary. In this study, we explore 51 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 36 candidate genes from the inflammatory pathway and test for gene-gene interactions using complementary case-control, discordant sibling pair, and trio family study designs. We used a sample of 421 carefully diagnosed MS cases and 96 unrelated, healthy controls; discordant sibling pairs from 146 multiplex families; and 275 trio families. We used multifactor dimensionality reduction to explore gene-gene interactions. Based on our analyses, we have identified several statistically significant models including both main effect models and two-locus, three-locus, and four-locus epistasis models that predict MS disease risk with between approximately 61% and 85% accuracy. These results suggest that significant epistasis, or gene-gene interactions, may exist even in the absence of statistically significant individual main effects.
