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

Autoimmune disorders are intricate conditions where the immune system directs its attack towards the body's tissues. The goal is to perform a thorough meta-analysis focusing on the genetic and epigenetic aspects of autoimmune disorders, specifically examining the role of the PTPN22 gene, particularly the rs2476601 variation, in influencing susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. The study followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and PROSPERO registration and conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis to explore the association between PTPN22 gene variations and autoimmune disorders. Case-control studies presenting genotype information were included, and quantitative data analysis was performed using MetaGenyo software. The meta-analysis included 43 studies with 20,669 controls and 9,397 cases of autoimmune diseases, focusing on the PTPN22 gene rs2476601 polymorphism. Significant associations were observed between the PTPN22 polymorphisms across multiple genetic models, including allelic, dominant, and recessive models. However, no link was found between the over-dominant model. The obtained p-values were < 0.01 for the allele model (C vs T; OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.48-0.81, I
