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

Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) plays an important role in the induction and regulation of the innate immune system or adaptive immune responses. Genetic variations within human TLR9 have been reported to be associated with a range of immune-related diseases, such as asthma, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and so on. Family-based association analysis was performed to further investigate whether a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs352140) in the exon 2 region of TLR9 gene is associated with susceptibility to SLE in a Chinese population. A total of 77 patients with SLE from 74 nuclear families, aged from 12 to 63 years, were enrolled according to 1997 criteria of American College of Rheumatology (ACR), 211 family members of these patients were also included. Genotyping was performed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. Among 77 patients with SLE, the CC, CT and TT genetype frequencies of the SNP (rs352140) were 20.8, 61.0 and 18.2%, respectively. Single loci analysis suggested that the T allele at position of rs352140 was significantly associated with the susceptibility to SLE (Z = 2.357, P = 0.018402) in dominant model, but not in additive or recessive model. Genetype analysis showed that individuals with CT genetype had greater susceptibility to SLE than those without (Z = 2.004, P = 0.045067). Our study suggests that a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs352140) in the exon 2 region of TLR9 gene may be a susceptibility factor for SLE in Chinese population.
