Associations between WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein-1 (WISP-1) genetic polymorphisms and clinical aspects of rheumatoid arthritis among Chinese Han subjects.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study genotyped blood samples from 214 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 293 healthy controls for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2977537, rs2929970, rs2929973, rs2977530, rs1689334 and rs62514004. We want to investigate whether the SNPs in the WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein 1 (WISP-1) gene may increase the risk of developing RA. We showed that RA disease was more likely with the AA genotype compared with the AG genotype of SNP rs2977537 (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 0.54; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.34-0.84), and with the TT genotype (AOR: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.13-0.39) or the GG genotype (AOR: 0.05; 95% CI: 0.03-0.10) compared with the GT genotype of rs2929973, and with the AA genotype (AOR: 0.34; 95% CI: 0.22-0.54) or GG genotype (AOR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.31 to 0.87) vs the AG genotype of rs2977530. Rheumatoid factor positivity was more likely with the AA genotype than with the AG genotype of the rs2977537 polymorphism (AOR: 0.16; 95% CI: 0.16-0.94). High CRP (>8 mg/L) was more likely with the non-AG genotype (AA + GG) than the AG genotype of rs2977537 (AOR: 1.84; 95% CI: 1.05-3.21) and with the AA genotype vs the AG genotype of rs2977530 (AOR: 2.62; 95% CI: 1.35-5.09). Compared with the AG genotype, the AA genotype of rs2929970 was more likely to require prednisolone (AOR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.27-0.88), while the AG genotype was more likely than the AA genotype of SNP rs2977530 to require TNF-α inhibitors (AOR: 2.07; 95% CI: 1.08 to 3.98). WISP-1 may be a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for RA therapy.
