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

backgroundPolymorphisms in immunity-related GTPase family M (IRGM) gene may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by affecting autophagy. However, the genetic association studies on three common variants in IRGM gene (rs13361189, rs4958847 and rs10065172) have shown inconsistent results. METHODOLOGY/ PRINCIPAL

findingsThe PubMed and Embase were searched up to June 5, 2013 for studies on the association between three IRGM polymorphisms and IBD risk. Data were extracted and the odd ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated. Finally, we performed a meta-analysis of 25 eligible studies in 3 SNPs located at IRGM gene by using a total of 20590 IBD cases and 27670 controls. The analysis showed modest significant association for the rs13361189, rs4958847 and rs10065172 variants in Crohn's disease (CD): the risk estimates for the allele contrast were OR=1.306 (1.200-1.420), p=5.2 × 10(-10), OR=1.182 (1.082-1.290), p=0.0002, and OR=1.248 (1.057-1.473), p=0.009 respectively (still significant when the p value was Bonferroni adjusted to 0.017). When stratified by ethnicity, significantly increased CD risk was observed in Europeans, but not in Asians. Conversely, there was no association of rs13361189 or rs4958847 variant with risk of ulcerative colitis (UC). CONCLUSIONS/ SIGNIFICANCE: These results indicated that autophagy gene-IRGM polymorphisms appear to confer susceptibility to CD but not UC, especially in Europeans. Our data may provide further understanding of the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of CD.
