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

introductionThe endocannabinoid system participates in food intake, energy balance and lipid and glucose metabolism. The biological effects of cannabinoids are limited by the activation of the endocannabinoid degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). This study aims to analyse whether 385 C/A polymorphism of FAAH is associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the Chinese Han population. MATERIAL AND

methodsA total of 112 subjects at risk for MetS and 80 healthy controls from Fuzhou, China were genotyped for 385 C/A polymorphism of FAAH using TaqMan assay. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical assessments such as BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, serum triglycerides (TG), serum total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose, and plasma insulin levels were performed.

resultsCA and AA genotypes of FAAH had higher incidence in MetS subjects than in control subjects. CA and AA genotypes of FAAH in subjects with MetS had relatively elevated levels of waist circumference, body mass index, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and serum triglycerides, and lowered level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) compared with CC genotype in MetS subjects.

conclusionsResults suggest that 385 C/A polymorphism of the FAAH gene may confer an increased risk of MetS in the Chinese Han population.
