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

An autoimmune component has been suggested to play a role in pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). And genetic studies have reported the shared susceptibility loci between IgAN and the prototype autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study was designed to systemically identify and annotate the shared susceptibility genes between IgAN and SLE. We first conducted an imputation-based genome-wide association analysis in 1180 IgAN cases and 899 controls, 1639 SLE cases and 2410 controls. Then we integrated blood expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) databases and gene expression data to prioritize the potentially functional genes. The results showed that a total of 1928 SNPs mapping to 14 loci were identified to be shared genes between IgAN and SLE. Conditional analysis prioritized 18 independent SNPs, among which alleles of 4 SNPs in HLA and 7 SNPs in non-HLA loci were risk for SLE were protective alleles for IgAN. Most of the shared SNPs and their proxies (r
