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

backgroundBiliary atresia (BA) is an intractable neonatal inflammatory and obliterative cholangiopathy, leading to progressive fibrosis and cirrhosis. Adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory adipokine, is known to play a possible role in liver diseases. The objective of our study was to determine the relationship between adiponectin gene polymorphisms and BA susceptibility.

methodsA total of 106 BA patients and 107 healthy controls were included in this study. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the adiponectin gene, +45T/G (rs2241766) and +276G/T (rs1501299), were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.

resultsGenotype distributions of +45 T/G and +276 G/T SNPs were seen in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for both BA patients and controls. The frequency of the G/G genotype at +276G/T was significantly higher in BA patients than in the controls (P=0.009). Regarding +45T/ G in BA patients, the frequency of the T/T genotype tended to be lower than in the controls, but the difference was not significant. Moreover, the G allele at +276G/T in BA patients was more common than in the controls (P=0.0043). In contrast, the frequency of the T allele at +45T/G was not significantly different between BA patients and the controls. None of the haplotypes studied was found to significantly influence the risk of BA.

conclusions+276G/T SNP is strongly associated with BA, particularly with the G allele. We postulate that the +276G/T adiponectin gene polymorphism confers increased susceptibility to BA.
