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

backgroundMany studies have revealed that transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signals play important roles in maintaining normal status of articular cartilage in human osteoarthritis (OA). However, SMAD3 had inhibitory effect on TGF-β-induced chondrocyte maturation.

methodTo evaluate the association of SMAD3 genetic variants with the risk of knee OA, we conducted this hospital-based case-control study involving 350 knee patients with OA and 400 controls in a Chinese population. Genotyping was performed using a custom-by-design 48-Plex single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Scan

resultsOur results indicate that the GG genotype of rs12901499 could decrease the risk of knee OA compared to AA genotype. However, stratified analyses by sex and age did not obtain positive findings with regard to the association between rs12901499 polymorphism and knee OA risk.

conclusionIn conclusion, SMAD3 rs12901499 polymorphism may be involved in the development of knee OA. Larger studies with more diverse ethnic populations are needed to confirm these results.
