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

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypic autoimmune disease that is caused by genetic and environmental factors. Current evidence shows that the CD40-CD40L system plays a crucial role in the development, progression and outcome of SLE. CD40, which stimulates lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation, is an important immunomodulator and is expressed in the thyroid follicular cells as well as antigen-presenting cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether CD40 gene polymorphism confers susceptibility to SLE and its impact on CD40 expression in Chinese. We analyzed four single nucleotide polymorphisms of CD40 gene rs1883832C/T, rs13040307C/T, rs752118C/T, and rs3765459G/A in 205 patients with SLE and 220 age- and sex-matched controls, using Snapshot SNP genotyping assays and DNA sequencing method. Soluble CD40 (sCD40) levels were measured by ELISA. There were significant differences in the genotype and allele frequencies of CD40 gene rs1883832 C/T polymorphism between the group of patients with SLE and the control group (P < 0.05). sCD40 levels were increased in patients with SLE compared with controls (P < 0.01). Moreover, genotypes carrying the CD40 rs1883832 T variant allele were associated with increased CD40 levels compared with the homozygous wild-type genotype in patients with SLE. The rs1883832 C/T polymorphism of CD40 and its sCD40 levels were associated with SLE in the Chinese population. These data suggest that CD40 gene may play an essential role in the development of SLE.
