A plasma proteomics method reveals links between ischemic stroke and MTHFR C677T genotype.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) catalyzes the conversion of methylene tetrahydrofolate to methylte trahydrofolate. The 677th nucleotide of the MTHFR gene is often regarded as a risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Previous studies demonstrated an elevated risk of ischemic stroke with the MTHFR677TT genotype. In this study, we employed a plasma proteomics method to investigate the connection between the polymorphism of the target nucleotide and stroke. In total, 28 protein spots were differentially expressed between the two groups, and of which, 25 protein spots were up-regulated and 3 were down-regulated. Five randomly selected spots were successfully identified as Haptoglobin (HPT) and Transferrin (TRFE). A functional analysis indicated that most of the differential expressed proteins (DEPs) were related to the inflammatory immune response. A Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis showed that these DEPs were involved in the complement cascade reaction. Meanwhile, protein-protein interactions (PPIs) analysis highlighted the novel association between the C677T MTHFR genotype and Vitamin D binding protein (DBP), which was confirmed by a molecular genetic analysis. The results suggested that the phenotype of the MTHFR might be associated with multiple proteins that have a synergistic effect, which might be related to the mechanism of ischemic stroke.
