Evaluation of Glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) deletion polymorphism on type 2 diabetes mellitus risk in a sample of Yazdian females in Yazd, Iran.

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
backgroundThere has been much interest in the role of free radicals and oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study was to assess the possible association between genetic polymorphisms of the glutathione S-transferase-mu (GSTT1) and the risk of the development of DM in a sample of Yazdian females in Yazd, Iran.
methodsThis was a case-control study in which GSTT1 polymorphism was genotyped in 51 randomly selected DM patients and 50 randomly selected healthy controls among Yazdian females whose ages ranged from 40 to 70.
resultsThe frequencies of GSTT1 null genotype and GSTT1 present were 8 and 92%, respectively, in the control samples. In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), the frequencies of GSTT1 null genotype and GSTT1 present were 14 and 86%, respectively. There were higher levels of triglycerides (TG), fasting blood sugar (FBS), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), body mass index (BMI), and high density lipoprotein (HDL) in patients with GSTT1 null genotype than in patients with the GSTT1 present genotype.
conclusionsOur results indicated that the GSTT1 deletion polymorphism is a risk factor for T2DM. We did not determine any significant association between the GSTT1 null genotype and T2DM.
