TRAC variants associate with IgA nephropathy.

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.
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 T cell receptor alpha constant gene (TRAC) encodes the constant region of the alpha chain for the T cell receptor, and the association of its gene variants with IgA nephropathy remains controversial. The authors resequenced the gene in 100 patients with IgA nephropathy and 100 controls, tested its linkage disequilibrium pattern, constructed haplotypes, and performed association and functional studies. First, the association between TRAC variants and IgA nephropathy was tested in 704 patients and 704 controls. Next, these 704 patients were divided into two independent datasets--310 with family member(s) and 394 single patients--to test the association separately. Results showed that the gene is located in a recombination hot spot, with nine linkage disequilibrium blocks within a 6.9-kb region. There is a hypervariable region with six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in an 85-bp stretch in intron 1. We identified multiple SNPs and two haplotypes that associate with IgA nephropathy (P = 0.0000013-0.0096 by logistic regression for SNPs; P = 0.0003 and P = 0.0398 for haplotype associations). The family-based study replicated both haplotype findings, and the 394 single-patient case-control study replicated the association with haplotype 1 (P = 0.0033). The overtransmitted/observed haplotypes demonstrated reduced transcription activity compared with the undertransmitted/observed haplotypes. In conclusion, this study suggests an association between TRAC variants and susceptibility to IgA nephropathy.
