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

INTRODUCTION/

objectivesSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifactorial systemic autoimmune disease, in which genetic susceptibility plays a pivotal role. The nucleotide oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) gene is one of the main regulators of chronic inflammatory conditions and could be involved in SLE pathogenesis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA binding sites which are located in 3'UTR of the NOD2 gene could be associated with SLE risk by dysregulation of NOD2 expression. In the present study, we assessed the possible association between SNPs rs3135500 and rs3135499 in the NOD2 gene with SLE risk in the Iranian population.

methodsA case-control study using 110 SLE patients and 120 control subjects was undertaken to estimate rs3135500 (G > A) and rs3135499 (A > C) genotypes via real-time PCR high-resolution melting method (HRM).

resultsNo significant association was observed between allele and genotype frequencies of rs3135500 and rs3135499 polymorphisms and SLE risk in this population (P > 0.05). However, there was an obvious association between rs3135500 (A allele) with laboratory factors that are associated with disease activity (P < 0.05) and some clinical manifestations that are associated with disease severity such as neurological symptoms, skin manifestations, renal involvements, and higher serum concentration of creatinine (P < 0.05). Besides, rs3135499 (C allele) was correlated with renal involvement and also the concentration of creatinine (P < 0.05). Moreover, in the patients group, the risk alleles in these polymorphisms were associated with lower age of onset (P < 0.05).

conclusionsOur results suggest a substantial association between NOD2 polymorphisms with clinicopathological characteristics and SLE disease activity. Key Points • Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA binding sites which are located in 3'UTR of the NOD2 gene could be associated with SLE risk by dysregulation of NOD2 expression. • Our results suggested that two miRSNPs (rs3135500 and rs3135499) in the NOD2 gene were meaningfully correlated with clinicopathological characteristics and disease activity of SLE.
