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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene region associates with the risk for several autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes. An association between vitamin D deficiency and several autoimmune diseases has been suggested. We tested the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentrations and HLA alleles in pregnant Finnish women. SUBJECTS/

methodsHLA-B (n=395), HLA-DRB1 (n=501) and HLA-DQB1 (n=475) alleles were genotyped in pregnant women (mothers of children who later developed type 1 diabetes and mothers of non-diabetic children). HLA-B alleles were divided into supertypes that share similar peptide-binding specificity. Serum 25OHD concentration had been previously measured in these women from sera collected during the first trimester of pregnancy. Multiple testing was controlled for using the false discovery rate method.

resultsAn association was found between 25OHD concentration and HLA-B44 supertype (P=0.009); women with HLA-B44 supertype (B*18, B*37, B*40 and B*44 alleles) had lower 25OHD concentrations. No association was found between HLA-DRB1 or -DQB1 alleles and 25OHD concentration.

conclusionsIn this study we found for the first time an association between HLA genetic polymorphisms and 25OHD concentration. In future studies, the mechanistic background of this association and the role of vitamin D in the regulation of HLA gene expression should be investigated.
