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

objectiveTo investigate the association of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the complement factor H (CFH), KIAA1109, and interleukin-27 (IL-27) genes in patients with anterior uveitis (AU).

methodsA case-control study was performed in 98 Chinese AU patients and 308 healthy controls. Three SNPs including CFH-rs800292, KIAA1109-rs4505848, and IL27-rs4788084 were detected using TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays. Analyses were also stratified according to gender, clinical features and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 status of the patients.

resultsNo significant association was found between all three SNPs and AU. However, when stratified by gender, there were significant increases in the frequency of the CFH-rs800292 184G allele and GG homozygosity in female patients compared with control subjects (p=0.003 and p=0.009, respectively). Similar association was not detected in males. No significant association was found between AU and KIAA1109-rs4505848 or IL27-rs4788084 even stratified by gender. There was no significant difference in genotypes of AU patients stratified by various clinical features. Subgroup analyses showed that all three SNPs (rs800292, rs4505848, and rs4788084) were not associated with AU in HLA-B27-positive patients, neither in HLA-B27-negative patients.

conclusionsOur results showed an association between AU and CFH polymorphism in Chinese female patients but not in males, indicating gender-specific genetic differences in CFH. Gender should be considered in genetic studies of anterior uveitis even extending to other immunologic diseases.
