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

Two rheumatic autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), have distinct clinical features despite their genetic similarities. We hypothesized that disease-specific variants exclusively associated with only one disease could contribute to disease-specific phenotypes. We calculated the strength of disease specificity for each variant in each disease against the other disease using summary association statistics reported in the largest genome-wide association studies of RA and SLE. Most of highly disease-specific associations were explained by non-coding variants that were significantly enriched within regulatory regions (enhancers or H3K4me3 histone modification marks) in specific cell or organ types. (e.g., In RA, regulatory T primary cells, CD4+ memory T primary cells, thymus and lung; In SLE, CD19+ B primary cells, mobilized CD34+ primary cells, regulatory T primary cells and monocytes). Consistently, genes in the disease-specific loci were significantly involved in T cell- and B cell-related gene sets in RA and SLE. In summary, this study identified disease-specific variants between RA and SLE, and provided statistical evidence for disease-specific cell types, organ and gene sets that may drive the disease-specific phenotypes.
