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 aim of this study was to determine whether the functional mannose-binding lectin (MBL2) exon 1 codon 54 polymorphism (rs1800450) confers susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in ethnically different populations. A meta-analysis was conducted on the MBL2 codon 54 polymorphism across 21 comparative studies. Meta-analysis showed an association between the MBL2 codon 54 B allele and SLE in all study subjects [odds ratio (OR) = 1.298, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.154-1.459, P = 1.4 × 10(-5)]. Analysis after stratification by ethnicity indicated that the MBL2 codon 54 B allele is significantly associated with SLE in Europeans, Asian, and Africans (OR = 1.246, 95% CI = 1.062-1.462, P = 0.007; OR = 1.268, 95% CI = 1.049-1.532, P = 0.014; OR = 1.939, 95% CI = 1.269-2.962, P = 0.002, respectively). However, African Americans had a much lower prevalence of the T allele (5.8%) than any other populations studied, whereas Asians had the highest prevalence (16.2%). This meta-analysis confirms that the MBL2 codon 54 polymorphism is associated with SLE susceptibility in different ethnic groups, and that its prevalence is ethnicity dependent.
