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 aim of this study is to determine whether the functional interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) polymorphism, rs2004640, confers susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in multiple ethic populations. A meta-analysis was conducted on the T allele of the IRF5 rs2004640 polymorphism and 12 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis revealed an association between SLE and the IRF5 rs2004640 T allele in all subjects without inter-study heterogeneity (OR 1.429, 95% CI 1.359-1.503, P < 0.001). The IRF5 rs2004640 T allele was significantly associated with SLE in European and Asians. The Asian population had a much lower prevalence of the T allele (34.4%) than any other population studied. and Europeans had the highest frequency of the IRF5 rs2004640 T allele (51.8%). In conclusion, this meta-analysis confirms that the IRF5 rs2004640 polymorphism is associated with SLE susceptibility in different ethnic groups, and that its prevalence is ethnicity dependent.
