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

backgroundSeveral studies have shown that common variants in the MTNR1B gene were associated with fasting glucose level and type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to examine whether tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MTNR1B region were associated with type 2 diabetes and related traits in a Han Chinese population.

methodsWe investigated the association of polymorphisms in the MTNR1B gene with type 2 diabetes by employing a case-control study design (1118 cases and 1161 controls). Three tagging SNPs (rs10830963, rs3781637, and rs1562444) with R2>0.8 and minor allele frequency>0.05 across the region of the MTNR1B gene were studied. Genotyping was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy using a MassARRAY platform.

resultsThe polymorphism rs3781637 was associated with type 2 diabetes adjusted for age, sex and body mass index (BMI) in the additive model and recessive model (OR = 1.22, 95% CI 1.01-1.46, p = 0.038 and OR = 2.81, 95% CI 1.28-6.17, p = 0.01, respectively). In the non-diabetic controls, rs3781637 was nominally associated with plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in the recessive model (p = 0.018, 0.008 and 0.038, respectively). After adjustment for multiple comparisons, the associations of rs3781637 with total cholesterol and LDL-C remained significant in the recessive model (the empirical p = 0.024 and 0.045, respectively), but the association between rs3781637 and triglyceride became non-significant (the empirical p = 0.095). The associations of rs10830963 and rs1562444 with type 2 diabetes and related traits were not significant in the additive, dominant and recessive models.

conclusionsThe rs3781637 A/G polymorphism of the MTNR1B gene is associated with type 2 diabetes, plasma, total cholesterol and LDL-C levels in the Han Chinese population.
