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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveBehçet's disease (BD) is a chronic inflammatory vasculitis presenting with flares and silent periods usually between 15 and 40 years of age. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association between Rho-kinase 1 (ROCK1) gene polymorphisms and patients with BD in a Turkish population.

methodsA total of 192 BD patients and 255 healthy controls of similar age and sex were enrolled in this study. Polymorphisms were analyzed in genomic DNA using a BioMark HD dynamic array system.

resultsIn the presence of CC genotype for rs73963110, CT genotype for rs111874856 (Val355Ile), and TC genotype for rs112130712 (Lys1054Arg) polymorphisms, the risk of BD increased 12.13-, 15.05-, and 16.28-fold, respectively (p < 0.0001). There was a lower frequency of the GA genotype of the rs112108028 (Pro1164Leu) polymorphisms in BD (10.3 %) compared with controls (39.7 %; p < 0.0001). Marked associations between these polymorphisms and the manifestations of BD were recorded.

conclusionThis is the first study to show that ROCK1 gene polymorphisms may have a significant impact on susceptibility to BD.
