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

objectiveSLE is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease, in terms of clinical presentation, incidence and severity across diverse ethnic populations. We investigated the human leucocyte antigens (HLA) profile (ie, HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DPA1 and HLA-DPB1) in Malaysian Malay female patients with SLE and determined the generalisability of the published HLA risk factors across different ethnic populations globally including Malaysia.

methodsOne hundred Malay female patients with SLE were recruited between January 2016 and October 2017 from a nephrology clinic. All patients were genotyped for HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DPA1 and HLA-DPB1 alleles using PCR sequence-specific oligonucleotides method on Luminex platform. A total of 951 HLA genotyped population-based Malay control subjects was used for association testing by means of OR with 95% CIs.

resultsOur findings convincingly validated common associations between HLA-A*11 (OR=1.65, p=3.36×10

conclusionsThis study reveals multiple HLA alleles associated with susceptibility and protection against risk of developing SLE in Malay female population with renal disorders. In addition, the published data from different ethnic populations together with our study further support the notion that the genetic effects from association with DRB1*15:01/02, DQB1*03:01 and DQA1*01:02 alleles are generalised to multiple ethnic populations of Caucasian, African and Asian descents.
