Clinical features and expression of type I interferon-inducible genes in systemic lupus erythematosus patients harboring rs1143679 polymorphism in China: a single-center, retrospective study.

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.
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
objectiveThis case-control study aimed to analyze the clinical features and determine the expression of type I interferon-induced genes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients harboring the CD11b rs1143679 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and elucidate whether it is involved in the relapses of SLE.
methodsOne hundred twenty-five relatively inactive SLE patients with SLEDAI scores < 6, including 102 CD11b rs1143679 G allele patients as controls and 23 rs1143679 A allele carriers as cases, were enrolled from the SLE patient specimen bank in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology. The sample set was retrospectively analyzed for differences in clinical features, and quantitative PCR and Western blot analyses were performed to evaluate the relative expression of type I interferon (IFN)-inducible genes.
resultsThe 24-h urinary protein levels in the case group were significantly elevated, and serum C3 levels were significantly reduced compared with those in the control group (P = 0.019 and P = 0.021, respectively). The relative mRNA levels of IFN-inducible genes IFIT1, IFIT4, and ISG15 in the case group were higher than that in the control group (P = 0.0257, 0.0344, and 0.0311, respectively) and matched with the Western blot results.
conclusionsThe relative expression of type I IFN-inducible genes in inactive SLE patients harboring the CD11b rs1143679 polymorphism was higher than that in other lupus patients. These findings suggest that the rs1143679 SNP can precipitate relapses in inactive SLE patients. KEY POINTS: • The rs1143679 GA genotype was associated with SLE clinical features. • The rs1143679 GA genotype showed higher interferon-inducible gene expression relative to the GG genotype.
