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

aimTo examine the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of matrix metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) gene and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) in a Chinese Han population.

methodsDNA samples were extracted from peripheral-blood mononuclear cells of 214 PACG patients and 224 healthy controls. Genotyping of rs3918249, rs3918254, rs17577 and rs3787268 in MMP-9 was performed using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis and the direct sequencing technique. The association between these genetic polymorphisms and risk of PACG was estimated by χ (2) test.

resultsThe distributions of rs3918249, rs3918254, rs17577 and rs3787268 genotypes among cases and healthy controls were compatible with that from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE, P>0.05).The increased frequency of CC and CT genotypes of rs3918254 were observed in PACG patients compared to healthy controls [P=0.006, Pcorrected (Pcorr)=0.048]. The haplotype analysis showed that the CCGG haplotype was nominal associated with PACG (P=0.015), however, the significant was lost when the Bonferroni correction was used (Pcorr=0.105).

conclusionOur results revealed that rs3918254 in MMP-9 may be a susceptible locus to PACG in China, people with the CC and CT genotypes of rs3918254 are more susceptible to PACG. The susceptibility to PACG in Chinese Han patients may be not influenced by SNPs rs3918249, rs3787268 and rs17577 in MMP-9.
