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

Polymorphisms in MTHFR gene are mostly associated with increased levels of homocysteine in the absence of dietary folate and are a risk factor for complex neurovascular diseases like migraine. The aim of present case-control study was to determine the association between MTHFR gene polymorphisms (C667T; rs 1801133, A1298C; rs 1801131) with migraine susceptibility. In total, 100 patients with migraine (23with MA and 77 with MO) and age-sex matched 100 healthy controls were included in this study from OPD of ESIC Medical College & Hospital, Faridabad. Genotyping was done by PCR-RFLP method. Genotypic and allelic frequencies were compared by SPSS 24 version. Genotypic results indicated a non-significant increase in frequencies of CT and TT in C667T SNP in migraine patients with control (52 and 10% vs. 42 and 7%: p > 0.05), but CC genotype in A1298C was found to be a risk factor in migraine patients than controls (30 vs. 17% respectively: p < 0.05). On comparing migraine subclasses, migraine with aura (MA) and without aura (MO) with control groups, the present study suggests that in MTHFR polymorphisms, the prevalence of 677CT genotype and T allele in C667T SNP influences susceptibility to MA (p < 0.05) but not to MO. Meanwhile, CC genotype in A1298C SNP could be a risk factor for migraine patients without aura (p < 0.05).
