Angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphism in patients with psoriatic arthritis.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
To investigate the frequency of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism genotypes in adults with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), a heterogeneous chronic disease with autoimmune pathology. ACE gene I/D polymorphism influences the plasma and tissue levels of ACE and has an involvement in inflammatory mechanism. The frequency of ACE gene I/D polymorphism genotypes was determined in 51 adults with PsA from Kuwait, and compared to that in 100 ethnically matched healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction. The distribution of ACE I/D polymorphism and allele frequencies in PsA patients were not significantly different from controls (P > 0.05). Further analyses of PsA patients showed that ACE I/D gene polymorphism was not associated with family history, clinical manifestations, and disease severity. However, the frequency of II genotype was significantly higher in patients with late disease onset than in those with early onset (25 vs. 3%; P = 0.04). No difference was found between the distribution of the ACE genotype in PsA patients and the general population in Kuwait. However, the presence of II genotype may confer susceptibility to the development of late onset PsA.
