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

backgroundLeptin acts as a mediator of inflammation and energy homeostasis by activating leptin receptor (LEPR). We conducted this study to explore the association of polymorphisms in LEPR with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its related metabolic traits.

methodsWe performed a case-control study to investigate the association of polymorphisms in LEPR with T2DM and related metabolic traits in a Chinese population, with a total of 922 T2DM patients and 1031 nondiabetic subjects. Polymorphisms were genotyped using MassARRAY assay.

resultsThe G allele of rs1327118 was associated with a decreased risk of T2DM in men (P = 0.044, odds ratio = 0.707, 95% confidence interval = 0.504-0.991) and the G allele of rs3806318 was associated with increased systolic blood pressure (SBP) in men with T2DM. Besides, the women patients carrying the G allele of rs1327118 showed increased SBP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels, but decreased high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level.

conclusionOur results suggest that rs1327118 may be associated with SBP, DBP and HDL-C levels in women with T2DM, and rs3806318 may be associated with T2DM and SBP level in men with T2DM. Further studies with larger sample size or functional experiments focused on exact mechanism are required to verify our observations.
