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

backgroundGenes involved in gastroschisis have shown a strong interaction with environmental factors. However, less is known about its influence. We aimed to systematically review the genetic associations of gastroschisis, to summarize whether its genetic susceptibility has been restricted to the interaction with the environment, and to identify significant gaps that remain for consideration in future studies.

methodsGenetic association studies of gastroschisis published 1980-2017 (PubMed/MEDLINE) were independently searched by two reviewers. Significant SNP-gastroschisis associations were grouped into crude and stratified risks, whereas SNPs were assessed from two or more independent studies. Frequencies, odds ratios, and 95% confidence intervals were pooled using descriptive analysis and Chi-square test accounting for heterogeneity.

resultsSeven eligible articles capturing associations of 14 SNPs from 10 genes for crude risk (including 10 and 4 SNPs with increased and decreased risk, respectively) and 30 SNPs from 14 genes for stratified risk in gastroschisis (including 37 and 14 SNPs with increased and decreased risk, respectively) were identified (Fisher's exact test, P = 0.438). The rs4961 (ADD1), rs5443 (GNB3), rs1042713, and rs1042714 (ADRB2) were significantly associated with gastroschisis.

conclusionsGenetic susceptibility in gastroschisis is not restricted to the interaction with the environment and should not be too narrowly focused on environmental factors. We found significant associations with four SNPs from three genes related to blood pressure regulation, which supports a significant role of vascular disruption in the pathogenesis of gastroschisis. Future studies considering gene-gene or gene-environmental interactions are warranted for better understanding the etiology of gastroschisis.
