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

backgroundIL12B is a promising candidate for a susceptibility gene in Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study was to perform a candidate gene analysis of IL12B in Japanese CD patients, investigate whether the genotype is associated with disease phenotypes, and determine how the risk allele affects susceptibility to CD.

methodsThree hundred seventy-five patients with CD, 265 patients with ulcerative colitis, and 463 healthy controls were examined. Ten single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) around IL12B were genotyped. Case-control and subphenotype (including disease course) analyses were performed. The allelic expression ratio of IL12B messenger RNA (mRNA) was examined by a SNaPshot analysis in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated monocytes.

resultsFour SNPs located upstream of the IL12B gene were significantly associated with CD. A conditional analysis revealed that these associations included two independent signals tagged by IL12B_1 and IL12B_3 (P = 9.42 × 10

conclusionsWe confirmed the association of SNPs located upstream of IL12B with CD in Japanese patients. The demonstrated allelic expression imbalance supports the idea that the IL12B risk haplotype confers susceptibility not only to CD onset but to also relapse through increased IL12B mRNA expression.
