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

To investigate the possible genetic association of nonsyndromic X-linked mental retardation (NS-XLMR) with FTSJ1 gene polymorphisms, a case-control association study was performed focusing on the Chinese Han population in the Qinba mountain region. Three common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2268954, rs2070991, rs5905692) in the gene were selected and genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction single-strand confirmation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method. Pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis showed that the three SNPs were in strong LD (all D' > 0.8). There were significant differences between cases and controls in allele frequency distribution of rs2268954 (P = 0.036), rs2070991 (P = 0.043), and rs5905692 (P = 0.014) and in the distributions of common haplotypes combined by these SNPs (global P = 0.01236) in male subjects. In female subjects, however, no positive results were found. Our results suggest a positive association between the genetic variants of the FTSJ1 gene and NS-XLMR in young male subjects in the Chinese Han population in the Qinba region.
