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

backgroundβ(2)-Adrenergic receptor (β(2)AR), a G-protein coupled receptor, is present on the bronchial smooth muscle cells and results in bronchodilation upon activation. The genetic factors determining β(2)AR expression and function may not only alter the response of an individual to the therapy but also may serve as predictive markers for response to the agonists used in the therapy. The present study aimed at evaluating the role of β(2)AR-16 and β(2)AR-27 gene polymorphisms in asthma.

methodsA case-control study was performed with a total of 824 adult subjects, including 410 asthmatics and 414 healthy controls from regions of North India. The β(2)AR-16 and β(2)AR-27 polymorphisms were genotyped by PCR-RFLP.

resultsStatistical analysis for the β(2)AR-16 polymorphism revealed that the mutant Gly16 allele was significantly associated with asthma, with OR = 0.80, 95 % CI = 0.65-0.99, and P = 0.032. The Gly16/Gly16 mutant genotype also confers decreased risk toward asthma, with OR = 0.65, 95 % CI = 0.41-1.02, and P = 0.049. However, the β(2)AR-27 polymorphism was not associated with asthma as it did not reach statistical significance, with OR = 0.86, 95 % CI = 0.69-1.07, and P = 0.163.

conclusionThe β(2)AR-16 polymorphism confers a decreased risk toward asthma while the β(2)AR-27 polymorphism is not associated with asthma in the studied North Indian population.
