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

The gene for Clara cell secretory protein (CC16) is an ideal candidate for investigating genetic predisposition to asthma because of its role in the airway as an anti-inflammatory molecule, differences in its levels between asthmatics and healthy controls, and its genetic location (11q13). We investigated the association of an SNP (A38G) and an intragenic repeat polymorphism in the CC16 gene with asthma and its associated traits, such as total serum IgE levels, in a case control as well as in a family based study design. A significant association was observed for the microsatellite repeat at the level of alleles and genotypes with asthma (P<0.05) in both the study designs. However, no association was observed for the A38G SNP with asthma. When haplotypes were constructed for these two loci and compared, the haplotype A_18 was found at higher frequency in patients (OR=1.59, 95%CI=1.08, 2.33, P=0.016). Also, in the family based design, a biased transmission was observed for haplotypes from parents to affected offspring (P=0.003). Individually, haplotype A_18 showed preferential transmission (82.6%) to affected offspring (P=0.001), thereby confirming the case-control results. In summary, this is the first study identifying the CC16 gene to be associated with asthma in the Indian population.
