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

introductionGene-environmental interactions in the pathway of folate metabolism influence greatly the embryonic development. Individual specific MTHFR 677C/T and 1298A/C mutations are known as risk factors for predisposition to human disorders. Therefore, we studied the frequencies of the MTHFR 677CT and 1298AC mutations in a female general population from Iranian Azeri Turkish. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe studied 108 unrelated women from Iranian Azeri Turkish general population. Genomic DNA was extracted using standard procedure. The MTHFR 677CT and 1298AC mutations determined by PCR-RFLP method. OUTCOMES: The frequencies (percent) at position 677 for C and T alleles were 159(74%), 57(26%), and for CC, CT, and TT genotypes were 59(54.6%), 41(38%), and 8(7.41%) respectively. The frequencies (percent) at position 1298 for A and C alleles were 136(63%), 80(37%), and for AA, AC, and CC genotypes were 43(39.8%), 50(46.3%), and 15(13.9%) respectively.

conclusionsThe frequency of MTHFR 677 C and T alleles were 0.74 and 0.26 while that of MTHFR 1298 A and C alleles were 0.63 and 0.37 in present study, respectively. This is the first report in its own kind in Iranian Azeri Turkish women.
