Genetic polymorphism of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist in Type 1 diabetic children.
Article in Pediatric research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundInterleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN) variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) are not fully understood in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). It may affect IL1RN level and modify the disease risk. We aimed to study IL1RN VNTR polymorphism in Egyptian children with T1DM to clarify its potential role as a risk factor for T1DM and its effect on plasma IL1RN level.
methodsA case-controlled study including 200 children (120 T1DM and 80 controls) was carried on. All children were subjected to genotyping of IL1RN VNTR. Plasma IL1RN was estimated by ELISA.
resultsThe A1A2 and LS genotypes and A2 allele were significantly higher among cases compared to controls with increased T1DM risk (OR = 5.35, 2.56 and 3.13, respectively). The S allele was significantly elevated in cases compared to controls with 2.09-fold increased risk of having T1DM. The median plasma IL1RN significantly decreased in cases compared to controls. Within cases, IL1RN was significantly decreased in LS versus LL genotype.
conclusionsThere is a strong relationship between IL1RN VNTR and T1DM in Egyptian children. A1A1 genotype, LL genotype, A1 allele, and L allele were protective. A1A2 and LS genotypes, short (S), and A2 alleles were risk factors. IL1RN was decreased in T1DM, especially in LS genotype. IMPACT: The relationship between IL1RN gene polymorphism and risk for T1DM among Egyptian children. Plasma IL1RN protein level in T1DM. Low IL1RN protein level in T1DM patients could be therapeutic targets for IL1RN medications in the future.
