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

Nurr1 defects could in part underlie Parkinson's disease pathogenesis, and Nurr1 gene polymorphism has been found in Caucasian patients with Parkinson's disease. In this study, heteroduplex technology was applied to compare the DNA sequences of eight exons of Nurr1 among 200 sporadic Parkinson's disease patients and 200 healthy controls in the Han population in the Hubei province, China. One allele amplified from exon 3 of Nurr1 was polymorphic in five Parkinson's disease patients (2.5%, 5/200), and two individuals had a polymorphic allele amplified from exon 2 (1%, 2/200). The anomalous electrophoresis fragment in exon 3 of Nurr1 gene contained a 709C/A missense mutation, and a polymorphic single nucleotide polymorphism at 388G/A was identified in exon 2. Compared with the control group, the Nurr1 gene expression level in the Parkinson's disease group was decreased, and the Nurr1 gene expression levels in Parkinson's disease patients carrying the polymorphisms at exons 2 and 3 were significantly decreased. Our data indicate that the single nucleotide polymorphism 388G/A in exon 2 and the 709C/A missense mutation in exon 3 of the Nurr1 gene in the Chinese population might affect the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.
