Association of angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphisms with Crohn's disease in a Chinese Han population.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate whether Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphisms alter the susceptibility of a Chinese Han population to Crohn's disease (CD).
methodsBlood samples were collected from patients with CD and from healthy control subjects for analyzing SNP rs4291 (promoter, A262T), SNP rs4343 (exon 16, A11860G), and rs4646994 (intron 16, Alu insertion/deletion). Allele and genotype frequencies were compared, and pairwise linkage disequilibrium and haplotypes were analyzed in patients with CD.
resultsBoth rs4343 A/G and rs4646994 I/D allele frequencies differed significantly between patients with CD and control subjects (rs4343: OR=1.438, 95% CI=1.099-1.882, P=0.008; rs4646994: OR=1.559, 95% CI=1.191-2.039, P=0.001). There were also significant associations between the risk of CD and both rs4343 AA/(AG+GG) and rs4646994 II/(ID+DD) genotype frequencies (P=0.039 and P=0.019). The frequency of the G-D haplotype was significantly lower in patients with CD than control subjects (31.7% vs. 40.4%, P=0.010).
conclusionsThe results suggest that ACE rs4343G and rs4646994D alleles protect against CD, while rs4343AA and the I allele in the dominant genetic model are risk alleles for CD. The association between the G-D haplotype and CD was significant, suggesting a protective role in the pathogenesis of CD.
