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

backgroundA genome-wide association study in East Asians suggested a genetic association between biliary atresia (BA) and a cluster of variants within the Adducin 3 (ADD3) and ADD3 antisense RNA1 (ADD3-AS1) genes. Another study in Thai neonates reported an association between BA and rs17095355. To validate those findings, this study aimed to analyze the BA association with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the additive influence of ADD3 and ADD3-AS1 in Thai neonates.

methodsDNAs from 56 BA cases and 166 controls were genotyped for rs2501577, rs11194981, rs12268910 (ADD3) and rs17095355 (ADD3-AS1), using TaqMan PCR. Genotype distributions were compared between the groups, and SNP-SNP interactions were analyzed by combination of allelotypes.

resultsThe risk allele frequencies of rs2501577, rs11194981, and rs17095355 in the BA group were significantly higher than in the controls. Univariate analysis showed that recessive variants in the three SNPs were associated with BA risk at ORs of 1.81 (95% CI 1.32-2.50), 1.58 (95% CI 1.14-2.20) and 1.92 (95% CI 1.39-2.66), respectively. SNP-SNP interaction analysis showed that the SNP combination of the two genes rs17095355 and rs2501577 provided an additive increase in BA risk.

conclusionADD3 and ADD3-AS1 variants increased susceptibility to BA, suggesting that these genes may play an additive role in the pathogenesis of the disease. In addition, these interactions may give a clue to the overexpression of the ADD3 protein in the liver of BA patients.
