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

Integrin αvβ3 (vitronectin receptor) plays a prominent role in angiogenesis, a key pathogenic feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Moreover, integrin αV (ITGAV) subunit gene has been associated with a susceptibility to RA. The aim of the present study was to detect the potential association between ITGAV gene polymorphisms and a susceptibility to RA in a Turkish cohort. DNA samples were harvested from 160 patients with RA and 144 healthy controls (HC). Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms of ITGAV gene (rs3738919, rs3768777, and rs10174098) were genotyped using real-time PCR. Serum vitronectin levels were analyzed in 30 RA patients, 28 Behçet's disease (BD) patients, and 30 HC subjects. There was no significant difference between the RA and HC groups in terms of the genotypic and allelic distributions of rs3738919 and rs10174098 polymorphisms. However, the prevalence of rs3768777-G allele was higher in the RA group than in the HC group (OR 2.3, 95 % CI 1.6-3.2, p < 0.0001). Moreover, there was a significant association between RA and the genotypic distribution of rs3768777 (GG + AG vs. AA: OR 2.1, 95 % CI 1.3-3.4; GG vs. AG + AA: OR 4.1, 95 % CI 2.1-7.8). Serum vitronectin levels were lower in the RA and BD groups than in the HC group (p ANOVA = 0.002). The rs3738919 and rs10174098 polymorphisms of the ITGAV gene seem not to be associated with susceptibility to RA in Turkish patients. However, rs3768777 increases the risk of RA in this group. These results suggest that the ITGAV gene may be a candidate gene for the etiopathogenesis of RA.
