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

objectiveThe aim of the present study was to determine whether polymorphisms of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene are associated with susceptibility to osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).

methodsWe conducted a meta-analysis to assess the association between the 4b/a, G894T, and T786C polymorphisms of eNOS and the susceptibility to ONFH.

resultsA total of five studies, which included 566 cases and 833 controls, were included in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis revealed a significant association between allele a of the 4b/a polymorphism and ONFH in all study subjects (odds ratio, OR 3.237; 95 % confidence interval, CI 2.036-5.148; P = 6.9 × 10

conclusionOur meta-analysis of published studies shows that the 4b/a polymorphism is associated with the development of idiopathic and secondary ONFH in Caucasians and Asians.
