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

Glucokinase regulatory protein (GCKR) which binds to glucokinase (GCK) in the nucleus and inhibits its activity in the presence of fructose-6-phosphate is critical for glucose metabolism. In the past few years, a number of case-control studies have been carried out to investigate the relationship between the GCKR polymorphism and type 2 diabetes (T2D) since it was first identified to be associated with fasting plasma glucose levels, insulin resistance through genome-wide association approach. After that, a number of studies reported that the rs780094 polymorphism in GCKR has been implicated in T2D risk. However, these studies have yielded contradictory results. To investigate this inconsistency, we performed a meta-analysis of 19 studies involving a total of 298,977 subjects for GCKR rs780094 to evaluate its effect on genetic susceptibility for T2D. In a combined analysis, the summary per-allele odds ratio for T2D of the rs780094 polymorphism was 1.11 (95 % CI: 1.07-1.14, P < 10(-5)). Significant results were also observed using dominant (OR = 1.18, 95 % CI: 1.05-1.34, P < 10(-5)) or recessive genetic model (OR = 1.20, 95 % CI: 1.12-1.28, P < 10(-5)). Significant results were found in Asians and Caucasians when stratified by ethnicity. Besides, the polymorphism was found to be significantly associated with increased fasting plasma glucose level. There was strong evidence of heterogeneity, which largely disappeared after stratification by ethnicity. This meta-analysis suggests that the rs780094 polymorphism in GCKR is associated with elevated T2D risk, but these associations vary in different ethnic populations.
