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

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis in many parts of the world. Although previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified the major susceptibility loci for IgAN, the causal genes currently remain unknown. We performed a GWAS using 23 465 microsatellite (MS) markers to identify genes related to IgAN in a Japanese population. A pooled sample analysis was conducted in three-stage screenings of three independent case-control populations, and after the final step of individual typing, 11 markers survived. Of these, we focused on two regions on 6p21 and 12q21 because they (i) showed the strongest relationship with IgAN, and (ii) appeared to be highly relevant to IgAN in view of several previous studies. These regions contained the HLA, TSPAN8 and PTPRR genes. This study on GWAS, using >20 000 MS markers, provides a new approach regarding susceptible genes for IgAN for investigators seeking new tools for the prevention and treatment of IgAN.
