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

backgroundAmong present reports, the T/G allelic variation at the rs2609255 locus of the family sequence similarity gene 13A (FAM13A) was considerable associated with susceptibility to interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). In this study, we summarized relevant studies and applied a meta-analysis to explore whether the polymorphism of rs2609255 site of the FAM13A gene can be utilized to predict susceptibility to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients or rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) or silicosis patients in different populations for the first time.

methodsWe compared the frequency of G allele on rs2609255 site of FAM13A between the control subjects and IPF or RA-ILD or silicosis patients from different races by using meta-analysis. Nine studies were involved in this meta-analysis, including five IPF studies, two RA-ILD studies, and two silicosis studies, and containing 14 subgroups. We conducted separate meta-analyses for different races.

resultsIn all individuals, a substantial link between the G allele of the FAM13A rs2609255 polymorphism and IPF (OR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.33-1.63, p < 0.00001) was indicated. After dividing by ethnicity, the G allele was illustrated to be considerable correlation with IPF in Asian (OR: 2.63, 95% CI: 1.81-3.81, p < 0.00001) and with RA-ILD individuals (OR: 3.27, 95% CI: 1.26-8.49, p = 0.01). Conversely, there was no correlation with the G allele and IPF in European individuals (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 0.89-1.83, p = 0.13) or silicosis in Chinese individuals (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 0.99-1.46, p = 0.07).

conclusionThis is the first meta-analysis that provides evidence that the rs2609255 of FAM13A might increase susceptibility to RA-ILD, and IPF especially in Asian but not in European individuals, and not be correlated with silicosis in Chinese individuals, which indicated the differences in susceptibility to disease by race were noteworthy.
