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

backgroundBody Mass Index (BMI) is widely regarded as an important clinical trait for obesity and other diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and osteoarthritis.

methodsThis study uses 6,011 samples of genotype data from ethnic Korean subjects. The data was retrieved from the Korea Association Resource. To identify the BMI-related markers within the Korean population, we collected genome-wide association study (GWAS) markers using a GWAS catalog and also obtained other markers from nearby regions. Of the total 6,011 samples, 5,410 subjects were used as part of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) selection set in order to identify the overlapping BMI-associated SNPs within a 10-fold cross validation.

resultsWe selected nine SNPs ( DISCUSSION: The set of nine SNPs identified in this study may be useful for prospective predictions of BMI.
