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

backgroundBased on published data, we aimed to quantitatively elucidate the possible genetic influence of rs17561 G/T and rs1800587 C/T polymorphisms of the IL1A (interleukin 1 alpha) gene in the susceptibility to several autoimmune diseases.

methodsA series of meta-analyses were carried out. After database searching, we utilized our inclusion/exclusion criteria to screen and include the eligible studies. Passociation (P value of association test), Bonferroni-corrected Passociation value; false discovery rate (FDR)-corrected Passociation, ORs (odd ratios), and 95% CI (confidence interval) were generated to assess the magnitudes of genetic relationships.

resultsA total of 35 eligible articles were included. Pooled analysis data of both rs17561 G/T and rs1800587 C/T in the overall population indicated a negative association between cases of autoimmune diseases and negative controls (all Passociation>0.05, Bonferroni-corrected Passociation>0.05, FDR-corrected Passociation>0.05). Similar results were found in most subgroup analyses (all Passociation>0.05, Bonferroni-corrected Passociation>0.05, FDR-corrected Passociation>0.05), apart from the rs1800587 in the Graves' disease subgroup, which showed an increased risk in some cases, compared with controls, under the models of allele T vs. C, carrier T vs. C, CT+TT vs. CC, and CT vs. CC (all Passociation<0.05, Bonferroni-corrected Passociation<0.05, FDR-corrected Passociation>0.05, OR>1).

conclusionBased on the available data, C/T genotype of the rs1800587 polymorphism within IL1A gene may be associated with an increased Graves' disease risk. We did not see evidence regarding a positive role for rs1800587 or rs17561 in the risk of other autoimmune diseases, such as systemic sclerosis or rheumatoid arthritis. These conclusions still merit further data support and molecular exploration.
