HLA Association With AQP4-IgG-Positive Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder in the Korean Population.
Article in Neurology(R) neuroimmunology & neuroinflammation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesAssociation of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) with anti-aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4-IgG NMOSD) has been reported. However, this association in the Korean population has not been previously investigated. We aimed to evaluate whether specific HLA subtypes were associated with Korean patients with AQP4-IgG NMOSD and whether the HLA genotype is associated with specific clinical features.
methodsWe compared the HLA subtypes of 122 patients with AQP4-IgG NMOSD with those of 485 (HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1, and HLA-DQB1) and 173 (HLA-DPB1) healthy controls. In addition, we compared the clinical features of patients with and without specific HLA genotypes.
resultsThe most significant risk allele for AQP4-IgG NMOSD was HLA-DRB1*03:01 (24 patients [19.67%], odds ratio [OR]: 3.997, DISCUSSION: In a Korean cohort of patients withAQP4-IgG NMOSD, the HLA-DRB1*12:02-DQB1*03:01 haplotype was associated with disease severity at onset. HLA-DRB1*03:01, broadly reported as a significant susceptibility allele across diverse ethnic groups, showed a significant risk association in Korean patients with AQP4-IgG NMOSD.
