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

backgroundCongenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common human birth defects. The etiology and pathogenesis of CHD are complex and involve several genes as well as multiple changes in signaling pathways. The aim of this study was to identify potential pathological mutations in the Homeobox C9 (Hoxc9) gene in 350 Chinese children with CHD to further understand the etiology of CHD.

methodSequence analysis of the Hoxc9 gene in 350 nonsyndromic patients with CHD Result: We did not identify any nonsynonymous variants in the coding regions of Hoxc9 in the patients with CHD. We found one synonymous variant c.C564T (p. his188his) in one ventricular septal defect patient. We also identified four previously reported polymorphisms (rs56368105, rs12817092, rs34079606, and rs2241820) in CHD.

conclusionsWe did not find any diagnostic alterations in the coding regions of Hoxc9 among the patients with CHD. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, this is the first study of Hoxc9 in nonsyndromic CHD and has expanded our overall knowledge of the etiology of this disease.
