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

backgroundThe autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD), including Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), are caused by interactions between susceptibility genes and environmental triggers. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Solute carrier family 22, member 4 (SLC22A4) have been shown to be associated with several autoimmune diseases, including Crohn's disease (CD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study is to investigate whether SNP rs3792876 in the SLC22A4 gene is associated with GD, HT and AITD in a Chinese Han population.

methodsIn this study, we collected specimens from 553 Chinese Han individuals of 92 AITD pedigrees in 10 cities in Liaoning province, China (80 GD pedigrees, 478 members; 12 HT pedigrees, 75 members). SNP rs3792876 was genotyped using the TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium tests were performed among founders of the pedigrees using Haploview software. Family-based association tests performed using FBAT software.

resultsNo deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed (p > 0.05). There were not significant association between the SLC22A4 gene polymorphism (rs3792876) and GD, HT and AITD was found.

conclusionsThese results suggest a lack of association between the SLC22A4 gene polymorphism rs3792876 and susceptibility to GD, HT and AITD in a Chinese Han population.
