MBD4 gene is associated with rheumatoid arthritis in Chinese patients in Taiwan.

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
This study examines whether or not MBD4 polymorphism is a marker for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility or severity for Chinese patients in Taiwan. This study included 193 patients with RA, while 190 unrelated healthy individuals living in Central Taiwan served as controls. The relationship between MBD4 polymorphism and clinical manifestations of RA was evaluated. For the genotype and allelic frequency of MBD4-1057 polymorphism, there were no statistically significant differences between patients with RA and controls. There were significant differences in the distribution of MBD4-8666 polymorphism frequencies between patients with RA and controls [P = 0.013; P (corrected) (Pc) = 0.039]. There were also significant relationships in the distribution of MBD4-9229 polymorphism genotype between patients with RA and controls (P = 0.007; Pc = 0.021). However, we did not detect any associations for MBD4-1057, MBD4-8666 or MBD4-9229 with rheumatoid factor presence, extra-articular involvement or bone erosion in patients with RA. Results suggest that MBD4-8666 and MBD4-9229, but not MBD4-1057, gene polymorphisms are related to RA in Chinese patients in Taiwan.
