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

Genome-wide association studies have revealed that the 16p13 chromosomal region, including CLEC16A, DEXI, CIITA and SOCS1, is associated with susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. As non-coding single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may confer susceptibility to disease by affecting expression of nearby genes, we examined whether autoimmune-associated intronic CLEC16A SNPs (rs12708716, rs6498169 and rs7206912) correlate with the expression of CLEC16A itself as well as neighboring genes in whole-blood and thymic samples. Real-time quantitative PCR analyses show that SOCS1 and DEXI expression was lower in thymic samples carrying at least one of the CLEC16A risk alleles compared with non-carriers of the risk allele. Linear regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between the expression level of CLEC16A and that of SOCS1 and DEXI in thymic samples. These data indicate a possible regulatory role for multiple sclerosis-associated non-coding CLEC16A SNPs and a common control mechanism for the expression of CLEC16A, SOCS1 and DEXI.
