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

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the T-cell mediated autoimmune diseases and vitamin D suppresses activation of T-cell and has immunomodulatory effects. In this study the association between four vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms, at positions FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI, and susceptibility to T1DM was investigated. We assessed 87 Iranian patients with T1DM and one hundred healthy controls with no history of diabetes or other autoimmune diseases. Our results demonstrated that genotypes frequency of the TaqI VDR polymorphism differed significantly between T1DM patients and controls, TT genotype and T allele was more frequent in healthy controls compared with TIDM patients (P = 0.003; OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.31-0.84). Therefore, allele t is the risk-allele for developing TIDM in this study. No significant association was observed between others VDR SNPs and disease susceptibility. In conclusion, our case-control study indicated that the VDR TaqI polymorphism is associated with TIDM in Iranian population.
