JAK1 gene polymorphisms are associated with the outcomes of hepatitis B virus infection, but not with α interferon therapy response in a Han Chinese population.

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
aimsJanus kinase 1 (JAK1) is a key member in the interferon (IFN) signaling pathway. Recent studies suggested single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IFN pathway genes are associated with outcomes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and response to IFNα therapy. The aim of the study is to investigate whether SNPs in JAK1 were associated with outcomes of HBV infection and response to IFNα therapy.
methodsWe enrolled 395 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients and 251 subjects with the inactive carrier state, and 256 CHB patients who received IFNα treatment, with therapy efficacy evaluated. Twelve SNPs: rs310227, rs7531799, rs7546545, rs17127174, rs3790541, rs10493373, rs2780898, rs310247, rs310196, rs2780895, rs4244165, and rs17127024 in JAK1, which could represent all SNPs with minor allele frequency >0.2 recorded in the HapMap database were genotyped using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism protocol and the TaqMan method.
resultsSNP rs17127024 was associated with outcomes of HBV infection in an allele frequency (p=0.014) and genotype distributions (p=0.031), while SNP rs4244165 was associated with outcomes of HBV infection only in genotype distributions (p=0.008). There were no significant differences in allele frequencies and genotype distributions of these SNPs between the response group and the nonresponse group to IFNα therapy.
conclusionsSNPs rs4244165 and rs17127024 in JAK1 were associated with outcomes of HBV infection, but not with response to IFNα therapy.
