Disentangling effects of the DR and DQ isomers encoded by the HLA class II haplotype DRB1*15:01/DQB1*06:02 to help establish the true risk allele for FVIII inhibitor development in Hemophilia A.

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
Introduction: Hemophilia A (HA) patients (HAPs) with the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-class-II (HLAII) haplotype DRB1*15:01/DQB1*06:02, and thus antigen presenting cells which express HLAII β-polypeptide chains that form heterodimers of DR15- and DQ6-serotypes, respectively, have an increased risk of developing factor (F)VIII inhibitors (FEIs)-neutralizing antibodies against the therapeutic-FVIII-proteins (tFVIIIs) infused to prevent/arrest bleeding. As DRB1*15:01 and DQB1*06:02 exist in strong linkage disequilibrium, association analysis cannot determine which is the actual risk allele. Methods: To establish the true risk allele of this haplotype, we analyzed the tFVIII-derived peptides (tFVIII-dPs) bound to either the DR or DQ molecules that comprise the individual HLAII repertoires expressed by monocyte-derived dendritic cells obtained from 25 normal blood donors and six HAPs, four without and two with FEIs. We performed log-linear mixed model analyses, where the dependent variable is the log of the measured peptide count. Under Model 1, we analyzed an HLAII allele predictor consisting of ten levels (four DRB1 and six DQB1 alleles) in the fixed effects and variables in the random effects to account for non-independence. Model 2-where the HLAII allele variable consisted of only DRB1*15:01 and DQB1*06:02-compares the HLAII alleles. Results: Relative to the Model 1 reference, DRB1*15:01 and DQB1*06:02 significantly increased tFVIII-derived peptide counts, and DRB1*15:01 contributed significantly more than DQB1*06:02. Reported as risk ratios (RRs) and their 95% confidence interval (CI) lower- (LB) and upper-bound (UB), we found a RR (95% CI-LB, -UB) of 14.16 (10.38, 19.33) and 1.76 (1.24, 2.50) for DRB1*15:01 and DQB1*06:02, respectively. Under Model 2, we found an RR for DRB1*15:01 against DQB1*06:02 of 7.00 (5.80, 8.44). Discussion/conclusion: Our results suggest that DRB1*15:01 is the offending HLAII allele and that DR15 allotypes underlie the increased FEI risk in HAPs.
