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

introductionMiddle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) caused by MERS-coronavirus (CoV) is a lower respiratory tract disease characterized by a high mortality rate. MERS-CoV spread from Saudi Arabia to other countries, including South Korea. Dysfunction of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system has many effects due to genetic complexity and its role in the adaptive immune response. We investigated the association of HLA class I and II alleles with MERS-CoV in 32 patients with MERS.

methodsHLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1, and -DPB1 were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction sequence-based typing.

resultsHLA-DQB1*03:02 are significantly associated with moderate/mild cases of MERS-CoV. Other alleles are no statistical significance.

conclusionsTreatment strategies based on current research on the HLA gene and MERS-CoV will provide potential therapeutic targets.
