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

objectiveNonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP) is genetically distinct from those with syndromic clefts, and accounts for ~70% of cases with Oral clefts. Folate, or vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient in our diet. Allelic variants in genes involved in the folate pathway might be expected to have an impact on risk of oral clefts. Given the key role of methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1) in folate metabolism, it would be of significant interest to assess its role in NSCLP etiology. STUDY

designThe present study aims at examining the association between MTHFD1 1958G>A polymorphism and NSCLP risk by conducting a case-control study in south Indian population. Our sample comprised of 142 cases with nonsyndromic clefts and 141 controls without clefts or family history of clefting. The MTHFD1 1958G>A polymorphism was genotyped using PCR-RFLP.

resultsAn increased risk was found for the heterozygous 1958GA (OR=2.44; P=0.020) and homozygous 1958AA (OR=2.45; P=0.012) genotypes in the children. When the dominant model (AG+AA vs GG) was applied the risk remained the same as co-dominant model, but the level of significance increased (OR=2.44; P=0.002).

conclusionThe results indicated the MTHFD1 1958G>A polymorphism to be one of the important genetic determinants of NSCLP risk in South Indian subjects.
