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

purposeGenetic factors and hereditary forms of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) have been elucidated through genetic association studies. The significance of these cases is that they suggest an alternative hypothesis to the development of the disease. This review presents a summary of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and other genetic mutation variations found in association with ONFH, including our recent identification of a novel mutation in the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) gene in association with inherited ONFH. The purpose of this review is to consolidate and categorize genetic linkages according to physiological pathways.

methodsA systematic review of literature from PubMed and Google Scholar was undertaken with a focus on genetic linkages and hereditary case studies of the disease. Recent genetic analysis studies published after 2007 were the focus of genetic linkages in non-hereditary cases.

resultsThe summary of these genetic findings identifies biological processes believed to be involved in the development of ONFH, which include circulation, steroid metabolism, immunity, and the regulation of bone formation.

conclusionTaken together, these associations may lead to new pathways of bone repair and remodeling while opening new avenues for therapeutic targets. Knowledge of genetic variations could help identify individuals considered to be at higher risk of developing ONFH and prevent the multiple hit effect.
