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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which dysregulated interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) may amplify pro-inflammatory pathways; prior genetic studies of IRF5 single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in RA are inconsistent across populations and have not included mestizo Mexicans or evaluated rs59110799 in RA. We aimed to test whether four IRF5 SNVs (rs2004640G/T, rs2070197T/C, rs10954213G/A, rs59110799G/T) confer susceptibility to RA in women from Central Mexico. In a case-control study of 239 women with RA and 231 female controls (all self-identified Mexican-Mestizos, ≥3 generations), genotyping was performed by real-time PCR with TaqMan® probes; 80% of samples were duplicated (100% concordance) and control genotypes conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Association was assessed under allelic and multiple genetic models using logistic regression adjusted for age and birthplace, with Bonferroni correction for 23 tests (α=0.0022). Haplotype and linkage disequilibrium (LD) were analyzed with Haploview; putative functional effects were explored in silico (SNPinfo; GTEx). The minor alleles rs2004640T [OR=1.69, 95% CI 1.29-2.21; p=1.2×10⁻⁴], rs2070197C [OR=1.85, 1.39-2.46; p=2.0×10⁻⁵], and rs10954213A [OR=1.47, 1.12-1.93; p=0.002] were associated with increased RA risk after correction. Genotype-based associations were observed for rs2004640 (codominant and recessive) and rs2070197 (codominant, dominant, recessive). rs59110799G/T showed no significant association after correction (dominant model OR=1.69, 1.15-2.48; p=0.007). Nine haplotypes were identified; the haplotype carrying all four risk alleles (TCAT) was not associated, and two haplotypes with nominal signals (GCAG, TTGT) had control frequencies <1% and were excluded; variants were not in strong LD (r²<0.80). Our findings-providing the first evaluation of these IRF5 variants in Mexican women and the first report of rs59110799 in RA-support a role for IRF5 (rs2004640, rs2070197, rs10954213) in RA susceptibility in this Latin American population. Given the female-only design and moderate statistical power, replication and functional studies are warranted.
