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

The human solute carrier family 10 member 1 (SLC10A1) gene encodes sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), the principal transporter of conjugated bile salts from the plasma into hepatocytes. Although the function of NTCP has been studied extensively and a number of SLC10A1 variations have been identified in humans, information regarding NTCP deficiency is limited. To date, only one patient with NTCP deficiency has been described; however, in the present study a pediatric patient who experienced intractable and striking hypercholanemia is presented. Analysis of the SLC10A1 gene in the patient revealed a homozygous p.Ser267Phe (c.800C>T) variation, which proved to be a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the allele frequency of 4.7% of healthy controls. This variation involved a conserved amino acid residue on the orthologous alignment that was predicted to be 'disease-causing' by functional analysis using a number of bioinformatic tools. Next generation sequencing was performed; however, no other genetic causes were identified that would affect the bile acid homeostasis in the patient. Moreover, an adult, with the same genotype as the pediatric patient, was identified for the first time as experiencing mild hypercholanemia. The molecular and clinical findings in the present study suggest, for the first time, that there is an association between p.Ser267Phe SNP and hypercholanemia, and this information may be used to clinically identify NTCP deficiency worldwide.
