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 genetic basis of human autoimmune diseases remains incompletely understood, despite significant progress from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). In this review we outline how studies in mice may help filling these knowledge gaps. Forward genetic approaches including mutagenesis screens and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping studies can identify candidate genes for in depth analysis in human patient populations. Reverse genetic approaches utilize genetically engineered mice to analyze the function of disease-associated genes and their variants. Inbred strains are a distinctive feature of mouse genetics and we discuss their history, advantages and disadvantages. Three factors need to be considered when comparing experimental results from studies in mice and humans: In addition to species-specific differences, phenotypes are affected by the genetic background of the mouse strain being analyzed, and by microbial factors. Despite of these complexities, mice are essential discovery tools in the post GWAS era.
