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

aimThe aim of the present study was to investigate the association between tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility and severity of lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) in the Chinese Han population.

methodsA total of 153 patients with LDD and 131 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of TRAIL gene, including 1289 C/A, 1525 G/A, 1588 G/A and 1595 C/T, were genotyped with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis.

resultsThe genotypes and alleles frequencies of TRAIL at 1525 and 1595 positions in all subjects were the same. There was a significant association between TRAIL 1525/1595 polymorphisms and the susceptibility of LDD. The frequencies of 1525 GG /1595 CC genotype, and 1525 G/1595 C allele were higher in the patients group than that in the control group. In addition, we found patients with the 1525 AA /1595 TT genotype, as well as 1525 A/1595 T allele exhibit significantly low frequency of high grades of disc degeneration. However, there were no significant differences in the genotype or allele distribution of TRAIL 1289 C/A or 1588 G/A between the patients and the control group.

conclusionTRAIL 1525/1595 polymorphisms were associated with the susceptibility and severity of LDD in the Chinese Han population.
