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

objectiveFew studies have examined the association between genetic variants of the estrogen receptor beta (ESR2) and obesity in postmenopausal women.

methodsThe relationship of three polymorphisms (rs1271572, rs1256049 and rs4986938) and their associated haplotypes in the ESR2 gene with obesity and overweight were evaluated in 561 apparently healthy women (median age 63 years) from the Women's Health Study. Most of the women were postmenopausal (99.1%). The associations between genotypes and haplotypes with obesity (BMI> or =30kg/m(2)) and overweight (BMI> or =25kg/m(2)) were evaluated by logistic regression, assuming an additive model.

resultsNo association was observed for any of the three polymorphisms with BMI, overweight or obesity. In haplotype analyses, one haplotype (major allele for all polymorphisms) was associated with a borderline inverse association with overweight but not obesity (OR=0.62, 95% CI=0.39-0.98).

conclusionsAn inverse and borderline significant association was found between the ESR2 G-G-G haplotype and overweight in postmenopausal women. Further investigation regarding the association between ESR2 and adiposity should be performed to confirm these findings.
