Association of functional GITR gene polymorphisms related to expression of glucocorticoid-induced tumour necrosis factor-receptor (GITR) molecules with prognosis of autoimmune thyroid disease.
Article in Clinical and experimental immunology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The glucocorticoid-induced tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-receptor (GITR) affects the functions of regulatory T (T(reg)) and effector T (T(eff)) cells, but the significance of this phenomenon is still unclear. To examine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the GITR gene with the expression of GITR molecules on T cells and with the pathological conditions in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), we examined the frequencies of four candidate SNPs in AITD patients and healthy volunteers by restriction enzyme analysis and direct sequence analyses. We also analysed the GITR expression on peripheral T(reg) and T(eff) cells in AITD patients by three-colour flow cytometry. The CC genotype in the rs3753348 C/G SNP was significantly more frequent in patients with mild Hashimoto's disease (HD) than in those with severe HD [P = 0·0117, odds ratio (OR) = 3·13]. The AA genotype in the rs2298213 A/G SNP was significantly more frequent in patients with mild HD than in patients with severe HD (P = 0·010, OR = 4·43). All patients and healthy individuals had the GG genotype in rs60038293 A/G and rs11466696 A/G SNPs. The proportions of GITR(+) cells in T(reg) and T(eff) cells were significantly higher in AITD patients with the CC genotype of the rs3753348 SNP than in those with the GG genotype (P = 0·004 and P = 0·011, respectively). In conclusion, the rs3753348 C/G SNP in the GITR is associated with HD prognosis and expression on T(reg) and T(eff) cells.
