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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial disease with complex genetic etiology, about which little is known. Here, we apply a two-stage procedure in which a quick first-stage analysis was used to narrow down targets for a more thorough and detailed testing for gene x gene interaction. Potentially interesting regions were first identified by testing for major gene effects using non-parametric linkage methods. To select regions of interest, we first tested for linkage to three different RA-related traits one at a time: RA affection status and the quantitative phenotypes rheumatoid factor IgM and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide levels. These linkage analyses identified regions on chromosomes 3, 5, 6, 8, 16, 18, 19, and 20. We subsequently analyzed the selected regions in a pairwise manner to detect gene x gene interactions influencing RA using a recently developed two-dimensional linkage method. We found evidence of interacting loci on chromosomes 5, 6, and 18.
