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

aims/hypothesisTo further our understanding of antigen presentation by HLA class II molecules, we have examined the influence of HLA class II genotype on expression of autoantibodies to islet antigen-2 (IA-2A).

methodsHLA class II genotype and IA-2A were determined within 3 months of diagnosis in 618 patients with type 1 diabetes (median age 11 years [range 0.7-20.9]). Antibodies to the juxtamembrane region of IA-2 were measured by a radiobinding assay in 481 of 484 IA-2A-positive patients.

resultsIA-2A prevalence was highest in patients carrying at least one HLA-DRB1*04-DQA1*0301 (385 of 450; 86%), DRB1*07-DQA1*(0201 or 0301) (58 of 64; 91%) or DRB1*09-DQA1*0301 haplotype (18 of 19; 95%). Multiple regression showed that IA-2A were strongly associated with the number of these haplotypes carried; only 69 of 132 (52%) patients carrying none of these haplotypes had IA-2A, compared with 322 of 391 (82%) patients with one and 93 of 95 (98%) with two of these haplotypes (p < 0.001). IA-2 juxtamembrane antibodies were less frequent in IA-2A-positive patients with one (35%) or two (36%) DRB1*03-DQB1*02 or DRB1*07-DQB1*02 haplotypes than in those negative for these haplotypes (52%) (p = 0.002), but showed an independent positive association with IA-2A level (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationHLA class II alleles strongly influence the prevalence of IA-2A. The high IA-2A prevalence in patients carrying DRB1*04, DRB1*07 and DRB1*09 alleles in linkage disequilibrium with DQA1*0301 or the closely related DQA1*0201 suggests the humoral response to IA-2 may be driven by HLA-DQA1 genes.
