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

objectivePromoter single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ABCB1 gene, encoding the placental efflux transporter P-glycoprotein, can affect its expression and alter xenobiotic transfer from the maternal to the fetal circulation. Because SNPs are arranged in specific combinations as defined haplotypes, the aims of this study were to: (i) determine the placental haplotype structure of the ABCB1 promoter and (ii) determine the differential effect of these haplotypes on placental ABCB1 promoter activity. MATERIALS AND

methodsDNA samples from 100 healthy placentas were PCR-amplified and sequenced to identify existing SNPs in the proximal ABCB1 promoter. The haplotype structure encompassing these SNPs was inferred by PHASE analysis. Luciferase reporter constructs representing these haplotypes were generated and transfected into human placental 3A cells and their effect on ABCB1 promoter activity was determined using a dual-luciferase assay.

resultsWe identified 12 ABCB1 promoter SNPs. These SNPs were predicted by PHASE to segregate into 28 haplotypes with frequencies ranging between 0.019 and 0.88. We found 12 of these haplotypes in our population in addition to two haplotypes not predicted by PHASE. We also generated two haplotypes to determine individual SNP effects for a total of 16 studied. Compared with the ancestral haplotype, three haplotypes significantly up-regulated (107-266% increase; P<0.05), one significantly down-regulated (95.4% decrease; P<0.01), and 12 had no statistically significant effect on ABCB1 promoter activity. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionOur data show that the effect of SNPs on promoter activity depends on their presence in a specific haplotype. This indicates that haplotypes, rather than individual SNPs, could play a significant role in regulating placental P-glycoprotein expression and affect placental transfer and fetal exposure to xenobiotics.
