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

Genetic associations of TNFR2, VDR (Bsm I and Fok I), A2M, GSTT(1), GSTM(1) and ACE in South Asian and Caucasian patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were assessed in this study. DNA samples from South Asians (134 cases, 149 controls) and Caucasians (137 cases, 150 controls) from the East Midlands of the United Kingdom were genotyped for seven polymorphisms. All cases were rheumatoid-factor positive. Significant genetic associations were observed with TNFR2 R-R (OR = 3.16, CI 1.20-9.26, P < 0.05), A2M 1-1 (OR = 2.09, CI 1.21-3.64, P < 0.05) and GST T(1)null (OR = 1.97, CI 1.07-3.68, P < 0.05) among Caucasian patients. In South Asians, VDR Bsm I B-B genotype (OR = 2.08, CI 1.23-3.52, P < 0.05), A2M 2-2 genotype (OR = 3.99, CI 1.19-17.18, P < 0.05), and GST T(1)null genotype (OR = 2.81, CI 1.40-5.77, P < 0.002) genotypes were associated with RA. In the majority of cases, recessive and multiplicative modes of inheritance explained the observed associations. This study demonstrates that ethnicity affects the genetic associations in RA.
