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 p.R4810K (rs11273543, c.14429G > A) variant of the RNF213 gene is associated with increased risk of Moyamoya disease (MMD), which is an idiopathic progressive intracranial vascular steno-occlusive disease, in Asian populations. Numerous variant association studies for this MMD variant have been performed in Japan to date. Since another genetic study that utilized approximately 140,000 single nucleotide polymor (SNPs) has indicated that there still are genetic differences among mainland Japanese, there is a possibility that the variant distribution in patients with MMD and normal individuals varies between different Japanese regions. Additionally, the majority of variant association studies have used Sanger sequencing, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly. In this study, we analyzed the frequency of the variant genotype in patients with MMD and normal individuals in Kyushu using pyrosequencing, which is an accurate, cost-effective, and automated method. We found differences in the genotype frequencies in familial patients from Kyushu and normal populations in Tohoku compared with west Japan, which suggested that there were differences in the frequency of the variant among different regions in Japan.
