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

The purpose of this study was to determine whether toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) gene polymorphisms were markers of susceptibility to or severity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Taiwanese patients. The study included 211 healthy individuals and 167 Chinese patients with SLE. Polymorphisms of TLR9 [rs2066807 and rs187084 (-1486 T/C)] were typed from genomic DNA. The genotypes, allelic frequencies, and carriage rates were compared between patients with SLE and control subjects. The relationship between allelic frequencies and clinical manifestations of 167 patients with SLE was evaluated. There was no statistically significant difference in TLR9 (rs2066807) gene polymorphism, allelic frequency, and carriage rate between the SLE and control groups. However, for the genotype of TLR9 -1486 T/C (rs187084) polymorphism, there was a statistically significant difference between the SLE and the control groups (P < 0.001, χ(2) = 15.9). Moreover, there was a significant association between the two groups in allelic frequency and carriage rate of the T allele (P < 0.001, χ(2) = 18.5 and P < 0.01, χ(2) = 8.06, respectively). We did not detect any association between the TLR9 genotype and the clinical or laboratory profiles in patients with SLE. The results suggest that the TLR9 -1486 T/C (rs187084), but not TLR9 (rs2066807), polymorphism is related to SLE in Taiwanese patients.
