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

backgroundDefining regulatory mechanisms through which noncoding risk variants influence the cell-mediated pathogenesis of immune-mediated disease (IMD) has emerged as a priority in the post-genome-wide association study era.

objectivesWith a focus on rheumatoid arthritis, we sought new insight into genetic mechanisms of adaptive immune dysregulation to help prioritize molecular pathways for targeting in this and related immune pathologies.

methodsWhole-genome methylation and transcriptional data from isolated CD4

resultsWe provide strong evidence that disease-associated DNA variants regulate cis-CpG methylation in CD4

conclusionsOur observations highlight important mechanisms of genetic risk in RA and the wider context of immune dysregulation. They confirm the utility of DNA methylation profiling as a tool for causal gene prioritization and, potentially, therapeutic targeting in complex IMD.
