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

aimsThe neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) has been reported to be involved in the development of the central nervous system and its mRNA level might decrease in the serum of autistic patients. However, there was no evidence of the association of the NCAM1 gene polymorphisms with autism. In the present study, we enrolled 237 children with autism and 451 healthy control subjects. Then, we used the direct DNA sequencing for genotyping five tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the NCAM1 gene.

resultsBy using case-control association analyses, we found that three SNPs at the NCAM1 gene were associated with autism (rs 4937786, p=0.015; rs 12418058, p=0.0076; rs 1436109, p=0.0023). Two of them remained significant after the Bonferroni multiple testing correction (rs 12418058, P(corrected) =0.038; rs 1436109, P(corrected) =0.012). Moreover, two of the SNPs were associated with the parental age at conception in autism (rs 12418058, p=0.037; rs 1436109, p=0.01).

conclusionThese results showed that NCAM1 might play an important role in the pathogenesis of autism.
