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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of synovium and subsequent joint destruction. Recently, genetic polymorphisms within the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) genes have been reported to be associated with RA. To analyze the association between the genetic polymorphisms within TLR4 gene and the susceptibility to RA in Chinese people, two functional variants, Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile, in the TLR4 gene were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and direct sequencing techniques from 213 RA patients and 247 ethnically matched controls. None polymorphisms of Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile were detected in all RA cases and controls, which indicates that there is no relevance between these two SNPs and RA in the Chinese Han population. Further studies with extended single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) should be performed.
