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

HLA-B*52 is an established genetic factor in Takayasu arteritis (TAK). Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL12B (rs6871626) and LILRA3 (rs103294) were newly identified as non-HLA susceptibility loci in TAK. Here, we examined how these SNPs contribute to clinical characteristics and vascular damage in TAK. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 99 TAK patients enrolled in our previous genome-wide association study, and whose genotypes for IL12B rs6871626, LILRA3 rs103294, and HLA-B*52 were available. Incidence of aortic regurgitation (AR) was significantly associated with the A allele (risk allele) of IL12B rs6871626 (CC 42%, AC 61%, AA 81%; p = 0.0052; odds ratio [OR] 2.45), as well as with the incidence of hypertension (p = 0.049; OR 1.82) and the proportion of patients who underwent aortic valve replacement (p = 0.023; OR 3.64). Regarding vascular damage, there was positive correlation between the Takayasu Arteritis Damage Score and the A allele of IL12B rs6871626 (CC 3.42 ± 2.71, AC 4.06 ± 3.25, AA 6.00 ± 2.81; p = 0.0035; β = 1.35) and between the Vasculitis Damage Index and the A allele (CC 3.47 ± 1.98, AC 4.33 ± 2.40, AA 5.37 ± 2.22; p = 0.0054; β = 0.96). Contrarily, no correlation was found between LILRA3 rs103294 and vascular damage. In the present study, IL12B rs6871626 was associated with vascular damage in TAK, whereas LILRA3 rs103294 was not. Genotyping of IL12B rs6871626 may help to identify patients at risk of disease progression.
