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

objectiveTo investigate the association of β-fibrinogen gene polymorphism with plasma fibrinogen and allergic purpura nephritis.

methodsWe designed a case-control study (334 case and 300 control) to genotype the β-fibrinogen gene -455G/A polymorphism. The genotype and allele frequencies between the case and control group were compared. And we also compared the Fg concentration between different genotype.

resultsIn the case group, there were 143 cases of GA type, accounting for 42.8%; there were 168 cases of GG type, accounting for 50.3%; there were 23 cases of AA type, accounting for 6.9%. While in the control group, GG type was the most common. There were 228 cases of GG type, accounting for 76%; there were 66 cases of GA type, accounting for 22%; there was 6 case of AA type, accounting for 2%. The frequency of Fgβ-455G/A genotype between the two groups showed statistical significance (P<0.05). The levels of plasma Fg in the two groups showed statistical significance (P<0.01). In HSPN group Fgβ GA and AA-type the concentration of Fg [(4.2 ± 0.5) g/L], compared with the GG genotype [(3.1 ± 0.4) g/L], was significantly increased with statistical significance (P<0.01).

conclusionThe Fgβ-455G/A polymorphism was associated with the risk for HSPN and Fg concentration.
