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

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypic autoimmune disease with complex genetic inheritance. Genetic association of signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) with SLE susceptibility has been convincingly established in multiple populations including Asians, whereas studies of genetic relations between STAT4 polymorphisms and subphenotypes of SLE were rarely conducted. In this study, we selected Chinese female population and investigated genetic association between a polymorphism of STAT4 gene (rs7582694) and SLE. Furthermore, genetic association tests based on different subsets classified by 11 clinical manifestations were also performed. A total of 675 SLE female patients and 678 healthy controls were enrolled into this study, and SNP genotyping was performed using Sequenom's MassArray system (Sequenom iPLEX assay). Our study showed strong evidence for genetic predisposition of rs7582694 to SLE (X ( 2 ) = 23.7, OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.58-0.79, P = 1.13 × 10(-6)), while no association was observed between rs7582694 and any clinical presentations. The results of our study demonstrated that STAT4 rs7582694 SNP was significantly associated with SLE, and these results were in accordance with previous studies.
