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

unlabelledInflammation is an important feature of biliary atresia, and recent studies suggest that its occurs in a genetically susceptible host. The intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is of paramount importance for the initiation and propagation of various inflammatory conditions.

aimTo determine whether the Glu241Arg polymorphism in the ICAM-1 gene, which impairs inflammatory responses, is associated with biliary atresia.

methodsBetween February 2002 and November 2004, 19 patients (mean age 1 +/- 0.4 years) diagnosed as biliary atresia were included in the study. Thirty-eight children with chronic liver disease and a group of unrelated healthy controls (n = 123) included in this study. After informed consent, blood was collected and genomic DNA was obtained. Genotyping was performed by amplification-refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (ARMSPCR). Associations were assessed by using Fischer's exact test.

resultsICAM G242R A allele frequency was significantly higher in the BA group than in both the CLD and healthy control groups (OR = 4.4, 95 CI% 1.3-15.1, P = 0.03 and OR = 4.8 CI% 1.5-15.6, P = 0.01, respectively). Univariate analysis showed that polymorphism of ICAM G241R polymorphism was significantly related to biliary atresia. There was not significant correlation between PELD score and ICAM-1 genotypes both in BA and CLD groups.

conclusionThese findings provide evidence for the possible role of ICAM-1 241R polymorphism in BA pathogenesis.
