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

BACKGROUND Genetic predisposition may have important role in pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Angiotensin II type I receptor (AGTR1) has been known to involve in the process of liver steatosis and fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between AGTR1 A1166C polymorphism and NAFLD. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted during May 2014-May 2015 among healthy adults referring to our radiology clinic for abdominal sonography. AGTR1 A1166C polymorphism was evaluated in subjects with NAFLD and healthy individuals using allelic discrimination method. RESULTS 58 subjects with NAFLD were compared with 88 healthy individuals without NAFLD. The frequency of AA and CC genotypes of AGTR1 was significantly higher in patients with NAFLD compared with controls (p = 0.029 and 0.042, respectively). C allele was more detected in subjects with NAFLD compared with the healthy controls (OR: 2.1; 95% CI: 1.23-3.61, p = 0.006). CC genotype (OR: 10.62; 95% CI: 1.05-106.57, p = 0.045) and C allele (OR: 6.81; 95% CI: 1.42- 32.48, p = 0.016) were also predictors of severe fatty liver disease in our study population. CONCLUSION Our results provide the first evidence that AGTR1 gene A1166C polymorphism not only is associated with NAFLD and but also may predict its severity.
