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

introductionChronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a debilitating side effect of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), affecting the quality of life of patients. We used whole exome sequencing to identify candidate SNPs and complete a multi-marker gene-level analysis using a cohort of cGVHD( +) (N = 16) and cGVHD( -) (N = 66) HCT patients.

methodsSaliva samples were collected from HCT patients (N = 82) pre-conditioning in a multi-center study from March 2011 to May 2018. Exome sequencing was performed and FASTQ files were processed for sequence alignments. Significant SNPs were identified by logistic regression using PLINK2

resultsLogistic regression classified 986 SNPs associated with cGVHD( +). SNP2GENE returned three genomic risk loci, four lead SNPs, 48 candidate SNPs, seven candidate GWAS tagged SNPs, and four mapped genes. Fisher's exact test identified significant homozygous genotypes of four lead SNPs (p < 0.05). GENE2FUNC analysis of multi-marker SNP sets identified one positional gene set including lead SNPs for KANK1 and KDM4C and two curated gene sets including lead SNPs for PTPRD, KDM4C, and/or KANK1.

conclusionsOur data suggest that SNPs in three genes located on chromosome 9 confer genetic susceptibility to cGVHD in HCT patients. These genes modulate STAT3 expression and phosphorylation in cancer pathogenesis. The findings may have implications in the modulation of pathways currently targeted by JAK inhibitors in cGVHD clinical trials.
