Single nucleotide polymorphisms of TRAF2 and TRAF5 gene in ankylosing spondylitis: a case-control study.
Article in Clinical and experimental medicine, 2021. 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
Objective To investigate the role of eight locus polymorphisms of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) and TRAF5 gene and their interaction in the susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in Chinese Han population. Methods Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TRAF2 (rs3750511, rs10781522, rs17250673, rs59471504) and TRAF5 (rs6540679, rs12569232, rs4951523, rs7514863) gene were genotyped in 673 AS patients and 687 controls. Results The SNPs of TRAF2 and TRAF5 do not indicate a correlation with the susceptibility of AS in Chinese Han population. Genotype frequencies of rs3750511 were statistically significant in females between patients and controls. The allele frequencies of rs10781522 and genotype frequencies of rs3750511 were statistically significant between groups of different diseases activity. One three-locus model, TRAF2 (rs10781522, rs17250673) and TRAF5 (rs12569232), had a maximum testing accuracy of 52.67% and a maximum cross-validation consistency (10/10) that was significant at the level of P = 0.0001, after determined empirically by permutation testing. As to environmental variables, only marginal association was found between sleep quality and AS susceptibility. Conclusion TRAF2 rs3750511 polymorphism may be associated with the susceptibility and severity of AS. Besides, the interaction of TRAF2 and TRAF5 genes may be associated with AS susceptibility, but many open questions remain.
