IL-17 and IL-38 gene polymorphisms in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune condition commonly linked with Graves' disease (GD), characterized by orbital tissue inflammation and fibrosis. It is hypothesized that gene polymorphisms may influence production of the IL-17 and IL-38 cytokines, thereby impacting TAO development and progression. This study focused on investigating the gene polymorphisms of IL-17 (rs9463772 C/T in IL17F) and IL-38 (rs3811058 C/T, rs7570267 A/G in IL1F10) in patients with GD.
methodsA case-control study was conducted on 132 patients with TAO and 153 patients without TAO according to eligibility criteria. After clinical examination blood samples were collected for further investigations. Genotyping was performed with the TaqMan™ Master Mix kit. Allele and genotype frequencies were compared between studied groups and subgroups.
resultsNo significant differences were found in age, duration of GD, or thyroid hormone between patients with and without TAO. However, a higher predisposition to develop TAO was observed among smokers (OR = 1.682, p = 0.03). Overall, no significant associations between gene polymorphisms and TAO development were identified in GD patients. Further analysis revealed that the CC genotype in IL1F10 rs3811058 polymorphism among Caucasians was associated with an increased risk of TAO (OR = 2.7, p = 0.02), as well as allele differences were also significant (OR = 2.8, p = 0.001).
conclusionsThese findings shed light on TAO genetic predispositions in Kazakhstani GD patients, notably among Caucasians, underscoring the need for further research. These results may offer valuable targets for the development of novel treatments for TAO.
