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

This study investigated the impact of seven polymorphisms in genes of folate transport and (de)glutamation pathway on methotrexate polyglutamate levels and response in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This prospective study included patients with rheumatoid arthritis. They were treated with methotrexate (up to 25 mg per week) for 24 weeks and categorized by EULAR response criteria into responders (good and moderate) and non-responders. Using real-time Taqman discrimination assay, SNPs were genotyped-rs1045642 (ABCB1 3435C>T), rs1128503 (ABCB1 1236C>T), rs10106 (FPGS 1994A>G), rs1544105 (FPGS G>A), rs11545078 (GGH 452C>T), rs3758149 (GGH -401C>T), and rs1051266 (RFC1 80G>A).
