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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsAn increased production of macrophage inflammatory proteins 1 alpha (MIP-1alpha) has been reported to be associated with ulcerative colitis (UC). We investigated whether a polymorphism site in MIP-1alpha was associated with UC in a Chinese population. Additionally, considering the abnormal lipoprotein metabolism in subjects with UC, we also sought to determine whether genetic variation in the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene may play a role in the development of UC. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe examined the MIP-1alpha -906 (TA)(4)/(TA)(6) polymorphism and the ApoE polymorphism in a cohort of 162 unrelated UC patients and 220 healthy controls by using restriction fragment length polymorphism assay.

resultsA significantly increased frequency of the MIP-1alpha -906 (TA)(6)/(TA)(6) genotype (P = 0.0031, odds ratio [OR] = 1.851, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.228-2.791), as well as of the ApoE epsilon4+ genotype (P < 0.001, OR = 2.869, 95% CI 1.768-4.657), in patients with UC was proven. Moreover, the carriage of both MIP-1alpha -906 (TA)(6)/(TA)(6) genotype and ApoE epsilon4+ genotype confers greater risk for the development of UC (P < 0.001, OR = 5.432, 95% CI 2.761-10.689).

conclusionThese findings suggest that variation in the MIP-1alpha and ApoE genes and their interaction may increase susceptibility to UC. Identifying these novel susceptibility genes, as well as their interactions, will help our understanding of the disease mechanisms of UC and may identify targets for developing novel treatment measures.
