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

Genetic associations with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), particularly in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region, vary across ethnic groups. This study investigated the association of HLA alleles with the diagnosis, pathological findings, and prognosis of biopsy-proven IgAN in a Taiwanese population. A case-control study was conducted using data from the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative, including 157 patients with biopsy-proven IgAN and 1570 age- and sex-matched controls. Genetic data were obtained from single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays, and HLA imputation was performed. Most single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with IgAN were located within the HLA region on chromosome 6. Frequencies of several alleles (including C*08:01, DQA1*03:01, and DQB1*04:01) were significantly higher in the IgAN group. Conversely, frequencies of alleles such as B*58:01 and DQB1*02:01 were significantly lower. This study identified novel risk and protective HLA alleles for IgAN in a Taiwanese population.
