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

introductionPsoriasis is a systemic, chronic inflammatory disease that not only afflicts the skin but is also associated with cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. The strongest susceptibility loci for the disease is within the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex, though specific HLA allelic associations vary between populations.

objectiveOur objective was to investigate HLA associations with clinical phenotypes of psoriasis and metabolic syndrome in Chinese psoriasis cases.

methodsWe conducted an observational case-control study in Singapore with a cohort of psoriasis cases consecutively recruited from an outpatient specialist dermatological center (n = 120) compared with 130 healthy controls.

resultsSignificant HLA associations with psoriasis were observed with HLA-A*02:07, B*46:01, C*01:02, and C*06:02. The three-locus haplotype of A*02:07-C*01:02-B*46:01 was also significant (odds ratio [OR] 3.07; p = 9.47 × 10

conclusionOur results demonstrate the growing importance of discerning population-specific clinical phenotypes and their association with certain HLA alleles in psoriasis.
