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

backgroundCytochrome P450 family 17 subfamily A member 1 (CYP17A1) gene encodes a key enzyme in the synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones and has been associated with various factors, such as hypertension, insulin resistance, and polycystic ovary syndrome. However, whether the gene was associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has not been reported yet. Therefore, we sought to investigate whether CYP17A1 was associated with T2DM and related traits among Han Chinese.

methodsThree tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs1004467, rs17115149, and rs12413409), in the CYP17A1 gene region were selected and genotyped in a case-control study that included 440 diabetes and 1,320 control subjects. Effects of genetic loci were studied using univariate unconditional logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, family history, body mass index, smoking, and drinking. Bioinformatics analysis was also conducted using the GEO DataSets and PROMO database to gain hints of possible mechanism.

resultsRs17115149 and rs12413409 polymorphisms were significantly associated with the risk of T2DM, even after adjusting for age, sex, family history, body mass index, smoking, and drinking. In stratified analyses, rs1004467 and rs12413409 showed significant association with T2DM in the older age group (≥65 years) and, in the case of rs12413409, the risk of T2DM was significant in men but not in women. Rs17115149 had significant association with T2DM in the hypertension subgroup, and rs12413409 in the non-hypertension subgroup. Moreover, rs12413409 showed significant association with plasma glucose levels in the recessive model (

conclusionThis is the first report to identify that variants rs1004467, rs17115149, and rs12413409 of CYP17A1, are related to plasma glucose levels and T2DM among Han Chinese. Our results suggest that CYP17A1 might constitute a risk gene for progression to T2DM.
