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

purposeSingle nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in IFN-γ gene (+874T/A) that determines high (TT), low (AA), and intermediate (TA) responder phenotypes has shown associations with susceptibility to infectious and chronic inflammatory diseases, as well as disease outcome. Therefore, the susceptibility to and outcome of certain diseases can vary in different ethnic populations partially due to the notable differences in frequencies of genotypes and alleles between them. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of +874T/A genotype and allele frequencies in a healthy Serbian population as a reference for further disease association studies. MATERIALS AND

methodsGenomic DNA samples from 166 healthy volunteers were evaluated for IFN-γ SNP at position +874 using TaqMan SNP genotyping assay.

resultsThe frequencies of AA, AT, and TT genotypes were 28.9%, 49.4%, and 21.7%, respectively. The A and T allele frequencies were 53.6% and 46.4%.

conclusionsAnalysis of genotype and allele frequencies for IFN-γ+874T/A SNP in healthy subjects revealed, for the first time, the genetic profile for this polymorphism in a Serbian population resembling most European populations, but differing from some Asian and African ethnic groups.
