The MAGI2 gene polymorphism rs2160322 is associated with Graves' disease but not with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

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.
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
purposeAutoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are chronic organ-specific autoimmune disorders, predominantly including Graves' disease (GD), and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). This study aimed to investigate whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MAGI2 and MAGI3 gene contributed to the etiology of AITDs.
methodsWe conducted a case-control study including 1001 patients with AITDs (625 GD, 376 HT) and 846 healthy controls. Subgroup analyses in GD and HT were also performed.
resultsThe genotypes of rs2160322 in MAGI2 showed a borderline association with AITDs (P = 0.048), and they had a strong correlation with GD (P = 0.012). The frequency of the minor allele G of rs2160322 was significantly higher in the GD patients than in the controls (P = 0.027; OR 1.91; 95% CI 1.020-1.391), especially for GD females (P = 0.008; OR 1.304; 95% CI 1.072-1.587), and those who had positive family history (P = 0.011; OR 1.412; 95% CI 1.083-1.843). For genetic model analysis, the recessive model and homozygous model of rs2160322 showed significant associations with AITDs (P = 0.009; P = 0.019) and GD (P = 0.004; P = 0.005). Nevertheless, our study could not identify any relationship between these SNPs and HT. Due to the low mutation rate of rs1343126 in MAGI3, we were unable to obtain a credible conclusion on its association with AITDs.
conclusionsOur study identified that MAGI2 rs2160322 was strongly associated with GD susceptibility. The potential dysfunction of tight junction proteins and aberrant epithelial barrier caused by abnormal MAGI2 expression may be a novel mechanism of GD.
