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

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) previously known as Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a rare rheumatic disease affecting subjects of all ages. Prevalence and incidence of this systemic disease greatly varies across different ethnic groups. GPA is the commonest form of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) with PR3 positivity among 85-95% of the cases. Scientific investigations of GPA is warranted because its severity, clinical heterogeneity, fast disease manifestation and end-organ damage. The etiology of GPA is still unknown. Major role of HLA and non-HLA genes with immune functions were identified, however, very limited replication was observed in different ethnic populations. In the present review, we have discussed the updates on the global epidemiology and contribution of HLA and major non-HLA genes/loci in GPA. We have also highlighted the cross disease association of GPA associated genes that may help in better disease management and predictive medicine. We proposed that high-resolution HLA typing and development of genetic risk model would help in early disease diagnosis and understanding the prognosis.
