HLA-DR genotypes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus in Taiwan.
Article in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
backgroundDifferent human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR genotypes have been known to be associated with the risk of development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in different populations, although Lu et al. have reported previously that no correlation exists between the HLA-DR genotype and disease manifestation in SLE patients in Taiwan. We investigated the effects different HLA-DR genotypes had on SLE incidence in Taiwanese patients as to whether risk alleles were associated with different clinical manifestations, and the effects risk alleles had on the age of disease onset.
methodsTwo hundred thirty-four SLE patients and 346 healthy controls were enrolled. HLA-DR genotyping was performed with the HLA FluoGene DRDQ kit for each subject. Chi-square tests and t tests were performed for statistical analysis.
resultsHLA-DR2 was significantly more frequently found in SLE patients than in controls (odds ratio [OR] = 2.05, 95% CI, 1.44-2.92, p < 0.001). Notably, HLA-DR6 appeared to trend toward negative correlation with SLE, whereas HLA-DR8 appeared to trend toward positive correlation. HLA-DR2 patients had an earlier onset of disease as well as a higher prevalence of oral ulcer, avascular necrosis of bone, and renal involvement (lupus nephritis).
conclusionHLA-DR2 was associated with SLE susceptibility in this Taiwanese population as well as lower age of disease onset and more severe clinical manifestations.
