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

objectiveTo study the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ninth exon Val279Phe of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) gene and gastrointestinal bleeding in children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP).

methodsA total 516 children with HSP were enrolled, among whom 182 had gastrointestinal bleeding and 334 had no gastrointestinal bleeding. PCR was used to investigate the distribution of genotypes and alleles in the SNPs of Val97Phe. The plasma PAF-AH activity was measured, as well as the levels of platelet-activating factor (PAF), granular membrane protein-140 (GMP-140), β-thromboglobulin (β-TG), and platelet factor 4 (PF4).

resultsThe Val279Phe genotype and allele frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and the homozygous genotype TT and heterozygotes accounted for 0.97% and 6.05% respectively. The gastrointestinal bleeding group had a significantly higher allele frequency than the control group (5.22% vs 3.33%; P<0.01). The HSP patients with GG genotype in the gastrointestinal bleeding group had significantly higher levels of plasma PAF and GMP-140 than those in the non-gastrointestinal bleeding group (P<0.05), while the non-gastrointestinal bleeding group had a significantly higher PAF-AH activity than the gastrointestinal bleeding group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in β-TG and PF4 between the two groups (P>0.05).

conclusionsVal279Phe gene polymorphisms in PAF-AH are associated with PAF-AH activity and PAF and GMP-140 levels and may be a risk factor for HSP with gastrointestinal bleeding.
