Association of IL-17F rs763780 polymorphism and risk of psoriasis in Turkish population: a case-control study.
Article in Anais brasileiros de dermatologia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPsoriasis represents a chronic inflammatory phenotype shaped by genetic interactions, characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation and commonly affecting the skin and joints. Experimental and clinical studies suggest that the IL-17F gene locus plays a role as a central cytokine in the immunopathogenesis of psoriasis.
objectivesBased on the central role of IL-17F in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, the authors thought that variations in this gene could affect the susceptibility and severity of this disease. Therefore, in this study, the authors aimed to analyze whether the IL-17F rs763780 variant has an effect on psoriasis pathogenesis in the Turkish population.
methodIn this case-control study, the study group consisted of 603 people (201 psoriasis patients (73 males/128 females)/402 controls (146 males/256 females) were genotyped in terms of IL-17F rs763780 polymorphism with TaqMan 5' Allelic Discrimination Test.
resultsThe genotype distributions of the IL-17F rs763780 polymorphism between patients and control groups were statistically different, and the TC (heterozygous genotype) and CC (homozygous mutant genotype) genotypes were more represented in the patients group than in the control group (24.9% vs. 10.2%; 2.0% vs. 0.2%, respectively). In addition, the variant C allele was higher in the patients group and this was statistically significant (p < 0.001), and the C allele carriage was associated with a 3.14-fold increased risk of psoriasis (95% CI 2.015‒24.921). STUDY LIMITATIONS: The present study has some limitations. The first limitation is the relatively small sample size. The second limitation is that the authors could not measure IL-17F expression levels. However, the present study data draw attention to the importance of IL-17F which deserves to be studied in a larger sample group.
conclusionWe report that IL-17F rs763780 TC and CC genotype and C allele are associated with an increased risk of psoriasis in the Turkish population.
