Correlation between ApoE gene polymorphisms and the occurrence of urolithiasis.

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.
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
The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphisms and the occurrence of urolithiasis and dyslipidemia. A total of 180 Uyghur individuals, including 90 urolithiasis patients and 90 healthy controls, were enrolled in this study. The blood lipid profiles of the patients and controls were investigated and compared, and the composition of the urinary calculi was determined. The polymorphisms of the ApoE alleles were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Three common genotypes of the ApoE gene, E3/3, E3/4 and E4/4, were detected in the urolithiasis patients and control group. In the patient group, 28 patients with the E3/3 genotype (30.1%), 58 patients with the E3/4 genotype (64.4%) and four patients with the E4/4 genotype (4.5%) were identified. By contrast, in the control group, 52 patients with the E3/3 genotype (57.8%), 35 patients with the E3/4 genotype (38.9%) and three patients with the E4/4 genotype (3.3%) were identified. The frequency of the E3/4 genotype was found to be significantly higher in the patient group when compared with the control group (χ
