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

The aim of this study was to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in the Chinese Han population. We carried out both case-control studies in two independent Chinese AS cohorts (Eastern Chinese, Southeastern Chinese) involving 353 AS patients and 514 unrelated healthy controls and family-based association study involving 57 pedigrees. Two TNAP intronic SNPs rs3767155 (G/A), and rs1780329 (G/T) and 1 exonic variant rs3738099 (A/G) were genotyped using direct DNA sequencing method. The results showed that there was no significant difference in allele, genotype or haplotype frequencies between the AS patients and the controls at the three SNPs in either case-control or family-based association study, which indicated that the TNAP gene was unlikely to play a major role in the susceptibility to AS in the Chinese Han population.
