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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate association profiles of lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene polymorphisms with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (XFS) in a Korean population.

methodsA total of 110 Korean patients with XFS and 127 control subjects were included in this study. Genotypes of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of LOXL1 (rs1048661, rs3825942, and rs2165241) were analyzed with direct sequencing, and a case-control association study was performed. Genotype frequencies of each SNP were compared according to the XFS phenotypes.

resultsAll three SNPs were significantly associated with XFS. The T allele at rs1048661 (odds ratio [OR] = 14.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 6.25-33.3) and the C allele at rs2165241 (OR = 7.14, 95% CI = 1.59-33.3) were risk alleles in Korean subjects, which was consistent with findings in other Asian populations. However, our findings were opposite to results from Caucasian populations in which the risk alleles at rs1048661 and rs2165241 were G and T, respectively. At the rs3825942, the G allele (OR = 12.50, 95% CI = 2.94-50.0) was a risk allele for XFS, which was similar to results from most other ethnic groups except black South Africans in whom the A allele increased the risk. In the haplotype analysis, the T-G-C haplotype composed of all three risk alleles was significantly overrepresented in XFS and conferred an 11.36 fold (95% CI = 5.97-23.49) increased likelihood of XFS. There was no significant association between the genotype frequencies of the three SNPs and the XFS phenotypes.

conclusionsThree SNPs of LOXL1 (rs1048661, rs3825942, and 2,165,241) are highly associated with XFS in a Korean population. The risk alleles of these SNPs were similar to those of other Asian populations, such as Japanese or Chinese, but differed from non-Asian populations, suggesting that still unidentified genetic or environmental factors may contribute to disease expression.
