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

Recent studies have shown that variants in FAT atypical cadherin 3 (FAT3), kinectin 1 (KTN1), discs large homolog2 (DLG2) and deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) genes influence the structure of the human mesolimbic reward system. We conducted a systematic analysis of the potential functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes associated with heroin addiction. We scanned the functional regions of these genes and identified 20 SNPs for genotyping by using the SNaPshot method. A total of 1080 samples, comprising 523 cases and 557 controls, were analyzed. We observed that DCC rs16956878, rs12607853, and rs2292043 were associated with heroin addiction. The T alleles of rs16956878 (p = 0.0004) and rs12607853 (p = 0.002) were significantly enriched in the case group compared with the controls. A lower incidence of the C allele of rs2292043 (p = 0.002) was observed in the case group. In block 2 of DCC (rs2292043-rs12607853-rs16956878), the frequency of the T-T-T haplotype was significantly higher in the case group than in the control group (p = 0.024), and fewer C-C-C haplotypes (p = 0.006) were detected in the case group. DCC may be an important candidate gene in heroin addiction, and rs16956878, rs12607853, and rs2292043 may be risk factors, thereby providing a basis for further genetic and biological research.
