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

objectiveC-reactive protein (CRP) is an important index for evaluating the disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). CRP may play a direct role in bone destruction in RA. Studies have demonstrated that serum CRP levels had a close correlation with tissue inflammation scores in patients with RA. In addition, genetic factors play a crucial role in the development of RA. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the CRP gene variants (rs1205 polymorphism) and the risk of RA in Chinese Han population.

methods502 RA patients and 581 controls were included in this study. The associations between CRP gene variants and CRP levels and RA risk were investigated.

resultsWe found that TT/ TT + CT genotype was significantly related with an increased risk of RA (TT vs CC: OR, 1.56, 95%CI, 1.01-2.40, P = 0.045; TT + CT vs CC: OR, 1.30, 95%CI, 1.02-1.65, P = 0.032). In addition, T allele was shown to associate with an elevated risk of RA. After subgroup analysis, we found that rs1205 polymorphism was significantly related with an enhanced risk of RA among females, individuals lower than 60 years, and subjects with a BMI > 25 kg/m

conclusionsTo sum up, this study reveals that rs1205 polymorphism of the CRP gene is related with an increased risk of RA and CRP levels in Chinese Han population. Key Points • The CRP gene rs1205 polymorphism is related with a higher risk of RA. • The CRP gene rs1205 polymorphism correlates with CRP and ESR levels. • The TT genotype of rs1205 polymorphism is linked with a reduction of CRP levels.
