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

introductionPolymorphism in the promoter region of collagen type 1α (COL1A1) +1245G/T (Sp1, rs1800012) was in some studies shown to be relevant for bone mineral density (BMD) and low-energy fracture prediction. The aim of the study was to confirm this finding in a group of postmenopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe investigated 311 Caucasian women (mean age: 65.2 ±9.39 years) either after low-energy fractures (regardless of the location) or meeting World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for osteoporosis. All patients underwent clinical examination in order to exclude secondary osteoporosis; hip and lumbar spine DEXA was performed (Lunar). The three genotypes of Sp1 polymorphism were determined by RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism).

resultsDistribution of COL1A1 genotypes (SS/Ss/ss) agreed with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. No relation between COL1A1 genotypes and hip/L1-L4 BMD was found. Fractures were reported in 26.3% of women. Prevalence of low-energy fractures, regardless of the type, was 50.0% in ss genotype carriers, 26.4% in SS homozygotes and 23.7% in Ss heterozygotes. There was no statistically significant recessive or dominant effect of any Sp1 genotype on fracture prevalence (p = 0.613).

conclusionsWe failed to observe that COL1A1 Sp 1 genotypes contribute to BMD determination or are associated with prevalent low-energy fractures in a Polish cohort of postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
