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

In order to study the association between FcgammaRIIa gene polymorphisms and the risk of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis, relevant studies were identified from electronic databases. A meta-analysis of relevant studies was performed for heterogeneity test and pooled OR calculation. When all groups were pooled, a significant association of FcgammaRIIa-R131 allele and increased SLE risk was found. But this association was not observed in lupus nephritis. In the subgroup analysis, a clear effect of R allele in SLE was shown in European and Asian subgroups. Similarly, RR homozygous genotype was found to be a risk factor of SLE and lupus nephritis. The association between RR genotype and SLE was shown in European and Asian descents. However, the association between RR genotype and lupus nephritis was not found in any ethnic subgroups. Taken together, our study suggests that the FcgammaRIIa-R/H131 polymorphism might contribute to the susceptibility to SLE and lupus nephritis.
