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

objectiveGenetic factors play an important role in thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) etiology and thrombospondin-2 gene (THBS2) polymorphisms may be involved. This study tried to examine the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) rs8089 of THBS2 for their association with TAD susceptibility in Chinese Han population.

methodsThe rs8089 SNP of THBS2 was genotyped in 112 subjects who were diagnosed as TAD and in 184 age- and gender-matched matched controls.

resultsThe THBS2 rs8089 SNP was associated with increased TAD susceptibility for allele level comparison (P < 0.0001), and for dominant model (P = 0.0073) or extreme genotype model (P = 0.0459) in Chinese Han Population. But for the recessive model, no statistical difference was found (P = 0.099), which may be resulted from the relatively small sample size and low genotype frequency.

conclusionIn conclusion, the present study suggested that the THBS2 rs8089 variant was associated with TAD, with the G allele representing a risk factor in a Chinese Han population.
