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

Reduced cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) expression has been proposed as a risk for autoimmunity. CTLA4 polymorphisms have been associated with several autoimmune diseases, including ulcerative colitis (UC). In this study, we performed genotyping for CTLA4 -1661A/G, -1722T/C and 3' untranslated region (AT)n repeat polymorphisms in 300 Chinese UC patients and in 700 healthy controls, and evaluated the effects of polymorphisms on full-length (flCTLA4) and soluble CTLA4 (sCTLA4) expression in UC patients. The frequency of the -1661G allele was higher in UC patients than in healthy controls (16.5 vs 11.4%, P=0.003, odds ratio (OR)=1.53, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.17-2.01). The prevalence of (AT)n repeats of the CTLA4 gene carrying long alleles (≥116 bp) was more common in UC patients than in healthy controls (22.0 vs 6.3%, P<0.001, OR=4.21, 95% CI: 2.79-6.33), and was associated with extensive colitis (P=0.008). Among UC patients, long-allele carriers expressed lower levels of flCTLA4 and sCTLA4 mRNA and sCTLA4 protein than did short-allele carriers (P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, respectively). CTLA4 gene -1661A/G and long 3' untranslated region (AT)n repeat polymorphisms are associated with UC in Central China. This is likely from decreased expressions of sCTLA4 mRNA and sCTLA4 protein. Our study suggests that CTLA4 has an important role in susceptibility for UC in Central China.
