Nucleotide variants of the NAT2 and EGF61 genes in patients in Northern China with nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate.

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.
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
backgroundNon-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is a common orofacial congenital anomaly. The objective of the present study was to analyze the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the NAT2 and EGF61genes with NSCL/P in a Chinese population.
methodsThe frequencies of NAT2 (rs1799929)and EGF61 (rs4444903) gene variations were examined in a group of 285 NSCL/P patients and in 315 controls. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected for DNA extraction. Genotyping of the 2 SNPs was carried out using a mini sequencing (SNaPshot) method. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test.
resultsWe found a significant association between the EGF61 (rs4444903) and NSCL/P (P = .01) genes.Conversely, NAT2 (rs1799929) was not significantly different between the cases and the control group.The genotype frequencies of rs4444903GA showed a significant difference compared with GG genotype as a reference (odds ratio = 0.59; 95% confidence interval: 0.42-0.84, P = .01).
conclusionOur study showed that the EGF61 rs4444903GA genotype had a decreased risk of NSCL/P. Our data provides further evidence regarding the role of EGF61 variations in the development of NSCL/P in families of the studied populations.
