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

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is an acquired autoimmune disorder that is the most common cause of thrombocytopenia in children. The endocannabinoid system is involved in immune regulation. We evaluated a common missense variant (CAA/CGG; Q63R) of the gene encoding the cannabinoid receptor type 2 (GeneID 1269) in 190 children with immune thrombocytopenic purpura and 600 healthy controls. The allelic frequencies and genotype distribution of the polymorphism in the patients were significant compared to control samples (P=0.006 and P=0.0001, respectively). Interestingly, when acute and chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients were analyzed separately with respect to controls, a significant overrepresentation of the RR genotype and of the R allele was observed only for the chronic form (P=0.00021 and P=0.011, respectively). The relative odds ratio suggested the risk of developing chronic form was more than double in immune thrombocytopenic purpura children homozygous for the variant (odds ratio=2.349, 95% CI: 1.544-3.573; P<0.001).
