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

Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is the occurrence of repeated pregnancies that end in miscarriage of the fetus before 20 weeks of gestation. At least 50% of the RM patients are considered idiopathic. High IL-33 levels are critical in early pregnancy and impact the outcome of subsequent pregnancies. However, the association of polymorphisms of IL-33 with idiopathic RM is still unclear. The present study was initiated to investigate whether IL-33 polymorphisms are risk factors for idiopathic RM in Chinese Han population. Study subjects comprised of 321 cases and 384 controls. Five polymorphisms (rs10435816, rs16924159, rs16924171, rs1929992, rs1332290) in IL-33 and serum IL-33 concentrations were assessed. rs16924159 variant exhibits significant association with RM in additive and recessive genetic model (additive model P = 0.015, recessive model P = 0.007). In contrast, rs10435816, rs16924171, rs1929992 and rs1332290 are not significantly associated with RM. Serum IL-33 levels are significantly lower in RM cases than in control (173.51 ± 94.12 versus. 200.97 ± 110.06 (pg/ml), P = 4.57 × 10(-4)). There are lower levels of serum IL-33 in rs16924159 homozygous mutant (AA) than homozygous wild-type (GG) in this study population, including cases and control groups (172.18 ± 103.01 versus. 205.82 ± 119.01 (pg/ml), P = 0.006). Reduced IL-33 levels and rs16924159 IL-33 variant may contribute to the pathogenesis of idiopathic RM in Chinese Han population.
