Effects of apoC1 genotypes on the hormonal levels, metabolic profile and PAF-AH activity in Chinese women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

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.
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
backgroundElevated serum levels of apolipoprotein (apo) C1 may be an early protein marker of metabolic abnormality in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It is not clear, however, whether there are any relationships between the apoC1 rs4420638A/G and -317deletion (H1)/insertion (H2) polymorphisms and PCOS. We investigated the relationship between these two variants and the risk of PCOS, evaluated the genotypic effects on clinical, hormonal and metabolic indexes and plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) activity, and defined the association of apoC1 gene variants with apoE ε2/ε3/ε4 polymorphisms.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study of 877 women with PCOS and 761 controls. The apoC1 rs4420638A/G genotype was determined by a Taqman real-time PCR allelic discrimination assay. The apoC1-317H1/H2 and apoE ε2/ε3/ε4 genotypes were measured using PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The clinical, hormonal and metabolic parameters and PAF-AH activity were measured.
resultsThe frequencies of apoC1 rs4420638A/G and -317H1/H2 genotypes and alleles were similar between PCOS and control groups (P > 0.05). However, the rs4420638 G allele was related to increased serum luteinizing hormone, cholesterol and apoB levels, and the ratio of apoB to apoA1 (P < 0.05), and the -317H1H1 genotype was associated with a higher acne grade score and a higher ratio of apoB-PAF-AH to H-PAF-AH activity (P < 0.05) in patients with PCOS. We also demonstrated that the apoC1 rs4420638A/G and -317H1/H2 gene variants existed in moderate to reasonably high linkage disequilibrium with apoE ε2/ε3/ε4 polymorphisms in Chinese women.
conclusionThe apoC1 rs4420638A/G and -317H1/H2 gene variants might be involved in endocrine abnormalities of reproductive axis, metabolic abnormalities and chronic inflammation in PCOS, although no association was observed between the apoC1 genetic variants and the risk of PCOS in Chinese women.
