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

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified variation at >65 genomic loci associated with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes, but little progress has been made in elucidating the molecular mechanisms behind most of these associations. Using samples heterozygous for transcribed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), allelic expression profiling is a powerful technique for identifying cis-regulatory variants controlling gene expression. In this study, exonic SNPs, suitable for measuring mature mRNA levels and in high linkage disequilibrium with 65 lead type 2 diabetes GWAS SNPs, were identified and allelic expression determined by real-time PCR using RNA and DNA isolated from islets of 36 white nondiabetic donors. A significant allelic expression imbalance (AEI) was identified for 7/14 (50%) genes tested (ANPEP, CAMK2B, HMG20A, KCNJ11, NOTCH2, SLC30A8, and WFS1), with significant AEI confirmed for five of these genes using other linked exonic SNPs. Lastly, results of a targeted islet expression quantitative trait loci experiment support the AEI findings for ANPEP, further implicating ANPEP as the causative gene at its locus. The results of this study support the hypothesis that changes to cis-regulation of gene expression are involved in a large proportion of SNP associations with type 2 diabetes susceptibility.
