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

backgroundHigh-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a serious acute mountain sickness that mainly occurs in non-acclimatized individuals after rapid ascent to high altitude. The precise etiology of HAPE remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether NR3C1 gene polymorphism is associated with the susceptibility to HAPE.

methodsThe exons of NR3C1 gene were sequenced by a ABI 3730 DNA analyzer in 133 HAPE patients and matched 135 healthy Han Chinese controls from the Yushu area in Qinghai (the altitude greater than 3500 m).

resultsDNA sequencing showed the heterozygous substitutions at codon 588 (rs6194) in exon 6 and 766 (rs6196) in exon 9 of NR3C1 gene. The genotypic distributions and allelic frequencies of NR3C1 SNP rs6194 showed significant differences in two groups (P < 0.05). The frequencies of the C allele were significantly higher in the HAPE group than in the control group (P < 0.05) with an odds ratio of 3.009 (95% CI = 1.250-7.244). There were no differences in genotypic and allelic frequencies in rs6196 polymorphism between the two groups.

conclusionsNR3C1 gene rs6194 polymorphism is correlated with HAPE susceptibility. CC genotype and C allele of rs6194 polymorphism might increase the risk of HAPE in Han Chinese.
