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 suggested that interleukin 1 receptor-like 1 (ST2) plays a critical role in pathogenesis of several cardiovascular disease conditions. In this study, we examined association of 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ST2 gene with essential hypertension (EH) risk in 1151 patients with EH and 1135 controls. Our study showed that variants rs11685424, rs12999364 and rs3821204 are highly associated with an increase in risk of EH, while rs6543116 is associated with a decrease risk of EH. Notably, in silico analyses suggested the G>C change of rs3821204, which located within the 3'UTR of soluble ST2 mRNA, disrupted a putative binding site for miR202-3p. Functional analyses suggested that miR-202-3p significantly decreased soluble ST2-G mRNA stability and inhibited its endogenous expression. Furthermore, we found increased plasma-soluble ST2 (sST2) level was highly associated with CC genotype of rs3821204 in vivo. Taken together, our findings provide the first evidence that genetic variants in ST2 gene are associated with EH risk and variant rs3821204 may influence the development of EH by controlling sST2 expression.
