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

The introduction of immunosuppressive therapy for ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) has greatly improved outcomes, though patients now accumulate damage from vasculitis activity and adverse effects of treatment. Prediction of treatment outcomes using gene variants might help reduce this damage by allowing for personalized treatment. Several studies have studied genetic polymorphisms in relation to treatment outcomes of AAV. This review gives an overview of these studies, discussing both gene polymorphisms associated with inflammatory pathways (potentially influencing disease outcomes such as activity, severity, and relapse risk) and pharmacogenetics (potentially influencing drug metabolism and/or drug response). Subsequently, potential benefits of testing genetic variants for AAV and the steps needed for its implementation in clinical practice are discussed. The conclusion of this review is that measurement of most polymorphisms is currently not indicated in clinical practice.
