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

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), associated with a state of low grade chronic inflammation, depends on multiple genetic and environmental factors. Elevated levels of inflammatory markers including intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) have been demonstrated in affected women. Recent evidence indicates a significant linkage between chromosome 19p13 loci and multifactorial diseases that have an inflammatory component. The aim of this study was to assess the possible association of the lys469glu (K469E) polymorphism of the ICAM-1 gene located on chromosome 19p13 with risk of PCOS in Kashmiri women. Material and Methods: The K469E single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was analysed with DNA from peripheral blood leukocytes of 220 PCOS cases and 220 age matched non-PCOS healthy controls using PCR-RFLP. Results: Genotypic frequencies in cases were found to be 32 (14.5%) for EE, 98 (44.5%) for KE, and 90 (40.9%) for KK, with 130 (59.1%) for the KE+EE genotypes compared to healthy control values of 29 (13.2%) for EE, 113 (51.4%) for KE, 78 (35. 5%) for KK and 142 (64.5%) for KE+EE combined.The odds ratios for the EE, KE and KE:EE genotypes were 0.95(95% CI= 0.53-1.71)[p= 0.88], 0.75(95% CI= 0.50-1.12)[p =0.168] and 0.79 (95% CI =0.53-1.16) [p = 0.23], no statistically significant differences being found between cases and controls (χ2 =2.07; p=0.35). Conclusion: In conclusion, there was no apparent significant influence of the K469E polymorphism on risk of PCOS, or any clinical or laboratory parameters.
