The HLA gene complex in thyroid autoimmunity: from epidemiology to etiology.
Review in Journal of autoimmunity. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 98 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) comprise a cadre of complex diseases whose underlying pathoetiology stems from a genetic-environmental interaction, between susceptibility genes (e.g. CTLA-4, HLA-DR, thyroglobulin) and environmental triggers (e.g. dietary iodine), that orchestrates the initiation of an autoimmune response to thyroid antigens, leading to the onset of disease. Abundant epidemiological data, including family and twin studies, point to a strong genetic influence on the development of AITD. Several AITD susceptibility genes have been identified, with HLA genes, in particular, appearing to be of major importance. Early studies showed association of HLA-DR3 with Graves' disease (GD) in Caucasians. More recently, the importance of an amino acid substitution at position 74 of the DR beta 1 chain of HLA-DR3 (DRb1-Arg74), in susceptibility to Graves' disease, has been shown. Furthermore, there is increasing evidence for a genetic interaction between thyroglobulin variants and DRb1-Arg74 in conferring risk for GD. Mechanistically, the presence of an arginine at position 74 elicits a significant structural change in the peptide binding pocket of HLA-DR, potentially affecting the binding of pathogenic thyroidal peptides. Future therapeutic interventions may attempt to exploit this new bolus of knowledge by endeavoring to block or modulate pathogenic peptide presentation by HLA-DR.
