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 present study was designed to test the possibility that T cell receptor genes are associated/linked to those involved in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Genomic DNA was isolated from 31 unrelated Caucasian SLE patients, 34 unrelated Caucasian normals, 5 multiplex American Caucasian SLE families, 9 multiplex Mexican SLE families, and 13 unrelated Mexican normals. The DNA was digested with Pst I, electrophoresed, and transferred to membranes by the Southern blot method. The blots were probed with a cDNA probe for the alpha chain of the T cell receptor. 13 polymorphic RFLP patterns were recognized. 1.3- and 3.0-kb band pairs were observed in 15 of 31 of American Caucasian patients and 4 of 34 American Caucasian controls (chi square, 8.81; P less than 0.002; relative risk, 7); there was no association of any RFLP pattern with Mexican SLE. The cDNA probe was cut with Rsa I, EcoR I, and Ava II into fragments corresponding to the V, J, C, and 3'UT regions. Only the fragment corresponding to the constant region reacted with the 1.3/3.0-kb band pair. These observations suggest that a genetic marker of the constant region of the alpha chain of the T cell receptor is associated with genes involved in SLE.
