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

aimTo study milk consumption and subjective milk-related symptoms in adults genotyped for adult-type hypolactasia.

methodsA total of 1900 Finnish adults were genotyped for the C/T(-13910) variant of adult-type hypolactasia and filled in a structured questionnaire concerning milk consumption and gastrointestinal problems.

resultsThe C/C(-13910) genotype of adult-type hypolactasia was present in 18% of the study population. The prevalence of the C/C(-13910) genotype was higher among subjects who were undergoing investigations because of abdominal symptoms (24%, P < 0.05). Those with the C/C(-13910) genotype drank less milk than subjects with either the C/T(-13910) or the T/T(-13910) genotype of lactase persistence (18% vs 38%; 18% vs 36%, P < 0.01). Subjects with the C/C(-13910) genotype had experienced more gastrointestinal symptoms (84%) during the preceding three-month period than those with the C/T(-13910) (79%, P < 0.05) or the T/T(-13910) genotype (78 %, P < 0.05). Only 9% (29/338) of the subjects with the C/C(-13910) genotype consumed milk and reported no symptoms from it.

conclusionGastrointestinal symptoms are more common among adults with the C/C(-13910) genotype of adult-type hypolactasia than in those with genotypes of lactase persistence.
