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

Gene polymorphisms had been found to be associated with increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The aim of the present study was to assess the association between rs2896019 and rs3810622 in PNPLA3 with the susceptibility to NAFLD in Han Chinese population.A total of 384 NAFLD patients and 384 controls were enrolled in the study. Blood samples collected from each subject were used for biochemical index analysis and DNA extraction. Genotyping analyses of PNPLA3 rs2896019 and rs3810622 were performed by real-time PCR methods.Results showed that patients with genotype GG of rs2896019 had a higher incidence of NAFLD than patients with genotypes GT and TT (62.4% vs 52.0% and 43.3%, respectively, P = 0.002), and a higher risk of moderate to severe NAFLD than patients with genotypes GT and TT (60.3% vs 46.2% and 40.2%, respectively, P = 0.03). Furthermore, patients with genotype GG of rs2896019 had higher levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, P < 0.001), ALT (P = 0.003), and AST (P = 0.002). Patients with genotype TT of rs3810622 had a higher incidence of NAFLD than patients with genotypes CT and CC (56.7% vs 48.4% and 41.5%, respectively, P = 0.013). Likewise, patients with genotype TT of rs3810622 had higher levels of ALT (P = 0.021) and blood glucose (GLU) (P = 0.034). Haplotype association analysis showed that GT haplotype conferred a statistically significant increased risk for NAFLD (OR = 1.49; 95% CI = 1.20-1.84, P < 0.01).These results suggest that PNPLA3 rs2896019 and rs3810622 polymorphisms significantly contribute to increased NAFLD risk in Han Chinese population.
