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 objectives were to determine whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in KCNN3 (encodes the small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel subfamily N, member 3), associate with preterm birth (PTB). In all, 602 preterm families with at least 1 preterm (<37 weeks gestation) infant were studied: DNA from the infant and one or both parents were genotyped for 16 SNPs in KCNN3. A region of interest within KCNN3 was sequenced in 512 Caucasian non-Hispanic mothers (412 with preterm deliveries;100 who delivered at term). Family-based association testing was used for genotyping analysis; Fisher exact test was used for sequencing analysis. Six SNPs (rs1218585, rs4845396, rs12058931, rs1218568, rs6426985, and rs4845394) were associated with PTB (all Ps < .05). These variations were all located within the intronic region between exons 1 and 2. Maternal sequencing revealed an association of 3 SNPs with spontaneous PTB; rs1218585 (P = .007), rs1218584 (P = .05), and a novel SNP at chromosome1:153099353 (P = .02). Polymorphisms in KCNN3 are associated with PTB and investigation into the functional significance of these allelic changes is warranted.
