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

The aim of this study was to investigate the association of two common interleukin 12B (IL-12B) polymorphisms (rs3212227 and rs6887695) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility through meta-analyses. A systematic literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases was conducted on articles published before 28 February 2016. Then odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (CI) was used to quantify the strength of association for homozygote, heterozygote, dominant, and recessive genetic models. Nine articles with a total of 17 case-control studies (12 for IL-12B rs3212227 polymorphism and 5 for IL-12B rs6887695 polymorphism) met our inclusion criteria. The pooled results demonstrated that IL-12B rs3212227 (homozygote model: OR = 0.96, 95 % CI = 0.81-1.15; heterozygote model: OR = 1.07, 95 % CI = 0.93-1.23; dominant model: OR = 1.05, 95 % CI = 0.91-1.20; recessive model: OR = 0.93, 95 % CI = 0.79-1.10) and rs6887695 (homozygote model: OR = 1.01, 95 % CI = 0.84-1.21; heterozygote model: OR = 1.14, 95 % CI = 0.86-1.51; dominant model: OR = 1.14, 95 % CI = 0.87-1.48; recessive model: OR = 1.01, 95 % CI = 0.85-1.21) polymorphisms may not be associated with RA risk. Our meta-analyses demonstrated that IL-12B rs3212227 and rs6887695 polymorphisms do not confer susceptibility to RA.
