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

Previous studies are inconclusive on the relationships between BLK gene polymorphisms and clinical features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The present study aimed to estimate association between BLK loci and SLE clinical features in Chinese population. Associations between BLK single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility to SLE in this study were estimated using data of 1205 health controls previously reported in the same population. And a total of 814 SLE patients recruited from two different sources according with ACR criteria were analyzed for genotype-phenotype associations. A meta-analysis was conducted of the associations between BLK loci and renal disorder in SLE. The expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) data were also extracted from the public databases for the selected SNPs. Significant associations were observed between these SNPs and susceptibility to SLE. In addition, the data showed that rs2618479 and rs7812879 were associated with renal disorder [OR = 1.51 (95% CI: 1.15, 1.99) and 1.61 (95% CI: 1.21, 2.14), P
