Association of common variants in KIF21B and ankylosing spondylitis in a Chinese Han population: a replication study.
Article in Immunogenetics, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
KIF21B polymorphisms were found associated with susceptibility to multiple sclerosis and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in populations of white European ancestry. We aimed to replicate the association of polymorphisms around KIF21B and AS in a Chinese Han population. This case-control study included 665 patients with AS and 1,042 healthy controls genotyped for seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of KIF21B--rs12118246, rs4915464, rs502658, rs10494829, rs12089839, rs6687260, and rs957957--by TaqMan genotyping assay; statistical analyses involved the use of PLINK. We also estimated the linkage disequilibrium and haplotypes of these SNPs. Two SNPs--rs502658 (allelic p = 0.0002, odds ratio [OR] 0.60, 95 % confidence interval [95 % CI] 0.47-0.76) and rs10494829 (allelic p = 0.003, OR 1.30, 95 % CI 1.12-1.52)--were significantly associated with AS in the Chinese Han population. In addition, a linear regression test showed that they have independent contribution to disease susceptibility. For both SNPs, haplotype AT was strongly associated with AS and increased the risk of the disease (p = 0.045, OR 1.183, 95 % CI 1.004-1.395), and the genotype GC reduced the risk (p = 0.011, OR 0.715, 95 % CI 0.55-0.928). This work identified a significant association of two SNPs in KIF21B and AS in the Chinese Han population. KIF21B may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AS in the Chinese population and might be a new therapeutic target for AS.
