The role of N-acetyltransferase 2 polymorphism in the etiopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
background and purposeInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consists of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), which are complex genetic disorders resulting from the interplay between several genetic and environmental risk factors. The arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) enzyme detoxifies a wide spectrum of naturally occurring xenobiotics including carcinogens and drugs. Acetylation catalyzed by NAT2 is an important process in metabolic activation of arylamines to electrophilic intermediates that initiate carcinogenesis. The aim of our study was to determine whether there is any association between the susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease among the variations of NAT2 genotypes.
methodsThis study was carried out in 80 patients with IBD. The control group consisted of 100 healthy volunteers. The most common mutations found in the Caucasian population are at the positions 481T, 803G, 590A and 857A on the NAT2 gene. This was determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method with DNA extracted from peripheral blood.
resultsRisk of IBD development was 3.86 for the carriers of the NAT2*5/NAT2*7 genotype and 2.53 for the carriers with NAT2*6/NAT2*7, but it was not statistically significant. A statistically significant correlation between the NAT2*7 allele prevalence and the risk for developing IBD was found (OR = 5.8; P = 0.005).
conclusionsHigher prevalence of the NAT2*7 allele in patients with IBD and the obtained OR values could suggest that this mutation has the effect of increasing IBD development. Future studies are needed to confirm our assumptions on larger group of patients.
