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

Large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have increased our knowledge of the genetic risk factors of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, little is known about genetic susceptibility in populations with a large admixture of Amerindian ancestry. The aim of the present study was to test the generalizability of previously reported RA loci in a Latin American (LA) population with admixed ancestry. We selected 128 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in linkage equilibrium, with high association to RA in multiple populations of non-Amerindian origin. Genotyping of 118 SNPs was performed in 313 RA patients/487 healthy control subjects by mid-density arrays of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Some of the identified associations were validated in an additional cohort (250 cases/290 controls). One marker, the SNP rs2451258, located upstream of T Cell Activation RhoGTPase Activating Protein (TAGAP) gene, showed significant association with RA (p = 5 × 10
