The relationship between genetic polymorphisms in apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene and osteonecrosis of the femoral head induced by steroid in Chinese Han population.
Article in Genes & genomics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Previous studies suggested that apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) may result in abnormal lipid metabolism. Therefore, genetic polymorphisms in ApoE may be associated with the occurrence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). A case control study was designed to include 580 patients with steroid-induced ONFH and 560 age- and sex-matched non steroid-induced ONFH control subjects to analyze the association between ApoE polymorphisms and susceptibility of steroid-induced ONFH. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was utilized to differentiate two genotypes SNPs (rs7412 C/T and rs429358 T/C) in ApoE gene. Both rs7412 C/T and rs429358 T/C were found to be associated with the risk of steroid-induced ONFH. However, no significant association was observed between the haplotypes T-T, T-C and C-C in ONFH. Furthermore, T allele of rs7412 and C allele of rs429358 carriers were associated with higher levels of TG in steroid-induced ONFH patients (P < 0.05). The study suggested that ApoE genetic polymorphisms conferred susceptibility to steroid-induced ONFH in Chinese Han population. However, the results need further investigation with large sample size and various populations.
