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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease that is characterized by chronic, destructive, and debilitating arthritis. Peptidyl arginine deiminase type 4 (PADI4) polymorphisms (PADI4_94) have been reported to play a vital role in the disease. Nevertheless, the results were inconclusive. An electronic search of Embase, PubMed, CNKI, and WANFANG Date was performed to the identification of relevant studies published from 2003 to 2017. A total of 20 studies were enrolled as being eligible for analysis. In overall analysis, we had found a significant correlation between the PADI4_94 polymorphisms and RA under T vs. C (OR = 1.05, 95% CI 1.01-1.08, P = 0.01). Nevertheless, there were no significant associations under other four genetic models. In the subgroup analysis, we had observed the similar results in Asian population (T vs. C: OR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.05-1.17, P = 0.001), whereas no significant difference were observed in Caucasian population under any genetic model (P > 0.05). In conclusion, our meta-analysis demonstrated that the PADI4_94 polymorphisms might contribute to RA susceptibility especially in Asian populations but not in Caucasian populations. More well-designed studies with larger sample size are still required to further elucidate the relationship.
