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 aim of this study was to evaluate the association of rs2232365 (-924 G > A) and rs3761548 (-3279 C > A) FOXP3 variants with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility, TGF-β1 plasma levels, autoantibodies, and LN nephritis, and SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI). The study included 196 SLE female patients and 157 female controls. FOXP3 variants were determined with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Plasma levels of TGF-β1 were determined using immunofluorimetric assay. The AA genotype [OR: 2.650, CI 95%(1.070-6.564), p = 0.035] and A allele [OR: 2.644, CI 95%(1.104-6.333), p = 0.029] were associated with SLE diagnosis in the -3279 C > A. The A/A haplotype was associated with SLE [OR: 3.729, CI 95%(1.006-13.820), p = 0.049]. GCGC haplotype patients had higher TGF-β1 levels (p = 0.012) than other haplotypes. Patients with -924 AA genotype showed higher frequency of anti-dsDNA (p = 0.012) and anti-U1RNP (p = 0.036). The A/C haplotype had higher SLEDAI score [OR: 1.119, CI 95%(1.015-1.234), p = 0.024] and ACAC haplotype higher frequency of anti-dsDNA [OR: 3.026, CI 95%(1.062-8.624), p = 0.038], anti-U1RNP [OR: 5.649, CI 95%(1.199-26.610), p = 0.029] and nephritis [OR: 2.501, CI 95%(1.004-6.229), p = 0.049]. Our data demonstrate that the G/C haplotype provides protection for SLE. While the presence of allele A of both variants could favor autoimmunity, disease activity, and LN.
