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

Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is an acute and chronic vasculitis of unknown etiology. Recently, our group reported that SNP rs6871626 in the IL12B region had significant association with disease susceptibility to TAK. However, association of the SNP with clinical characteristics of TAK has yet to be determined. Therefore, we assessed whether this SNP was associated with TAK disease severity as represented by early onset and/or refractoriness to medical therapy. A total of 90 patients were genotyped for rs6871626 and their clinical charts were reviewed retrospectively. By examining the relationship between genotype and clinical profiles of patients, we found a strong association between the number of risk alleles and the frequency of severe cases as defined by (1) age at onset <20 years old, (2) steroid resistance, and/or (3) a relapse of disease [p = 0.03; odds ratio 3.75 (95 % confidence interval 1.13-13.5)]. Thus, our study points to potential diagnostic use of SNP rs6871626 for predicting disease severity of TAK, with the goal of genotyping-oriented therapy in the near future.
