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

backgroundInflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are multifactorial disorders that result from a dysregulated inflammatory response to environmental factors in genetically predisposed individuals. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to be involved in the development of IBDs.

aimsWe investigated common variants in five miRNA genes in a cohort of Italian IBD patients, to evaluate their possible role in the disease's susceptibility and phenotype manifestations.

methodsThe analysis included 267 CD patients, 207 UC patients, and 298 matched healthy controls. Polymorphisms in the MIR122, MIR499, MIR146A, MIR196A2, and MIR124A genes were evaluated by allelic discrimination assay.

resultsWe did not find associations between mir polymorphisms and IBD susceptibility. In both diseases, rs17669 and rs11614913 (MIR122 and MIR196A2) seem to contribute to clinical phenotypes: ileal location in CD (odds ratio [OR] = 1.82, p = 0.03; OR = 0.51, p = 0.01), and left-sided extent in UC (OR = 0.43, p = 0.05; OR = 0.28, p = 0.002). In CD, the MIR124A polymorphism (rs531564) contributed to colon location (p = 0.03, OR = 2.74). Finally, the variant allele of rs11614913 was associated with early age at onset in both diseases (p = 0.05 and p = 0.02).

conclusionsWe showed for the first time that polymorphisms in MIR122, MIR196A2, and MIR124A could play a role in clinical phenotype modulation in IBD.
