Promoter polymorphism (rs3755724, -55C/T) of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 4 (TIMP4) as a risk factor for Kawasaki disease with coronary artery lesions in a Korean population.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile vasculitis that predominantly affects infants and young children. Tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) comprise a family of four members, of which TIMP4 is characterized by its restriction to cardiovascular structures. In KD pathophysiology, TIMP4 is considered to be involved in the development of coronary artery lesions (CALs). Therefore, this study investigated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the TIMP4 gene as risk factors for KD with CALs in Korean children. To observe this association, two SNPs (rs3755724, -55C/T, promoter; rs17035945, 3'-untranslated region) were genotyped in TIMP4 using direct sequencing. There were no SNPs in the coding region of TIMP4, and two SNPs were selected in the exon and promoter regions. This study recruited 250 control and 101 KD subjects. For data analysis, SNPStats, SNPAnalyzer, and Helixtree programs were used. These SNPs were not associated with KD. However, in the recessive model, a significant association was found between rs3755724 and the development of CALs in KD (P = 0.02; odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.11-0.85). The minor allele (C) of rs3755724 showed the susceptibility of CALs to risk in KD patients. These results suggest that TIMP4 is related to the development of KD with CALs in Korean children.
