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

Azathioprine is used to treat several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. However, its use is limited by serious adverse events, including acute pancreatitis. Prior studies have found an association between the HLA region and thiopurine-induced acute pancreatitis (TIAP); however, in clinical practice, many patients with pancreatitis do not meet this strict criterion. We aimed to identify additional genes associated with azathioprine-related pancreatitis using genome-wide and transcriptome-wide association studies (GWAS and TWAS) by broadening the definition of pancreatitis. We conducted a retrospective study of azathioprine users with inflammatory conditions. We used electronic health records linked to genomic data from BioVU (Vanderbilt's biobank) and replicated the results using NIH's All of Us. The primary outcome was acute pancreatitis, and the secondary outcome was pancreatic injury. Sixteen patients with pancreatitis and 2085 control subjects were included from BioVU; the All of Us cohort included < 20 patients with pancreatitis and 847 control subjects. The GWAS analysis (adjusted for 10 principal components of genetic ancestry, sex, age, and azathioprine indication) in the BioVU cohort found an association between pancreatic injury and rs2948386 in RAB19 (OR = 3.47, P = 1.46E
