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

Blepharospasm (BSP) is a sub-phenotype of focal dystonia. A few genetic risk factors are considered to be implicated in the risk of developing BSP. There is recent evidence, based on results from GWAS and meta-analyses, to suggest that arylsulfatase G (ARSG), and more specifically rs11655081, is implicated in focal dystonia. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of rs11655081 ARSG on BSP. A Greek cohort, which consisted of 206 BSP patients and an equal number of healthy controls, was genotyped for rs11655081. Only a marginal trend for the association between rs11655081 and the risk of BSP was found in the over-dominant model of inheritance [odds ratio, OR (95% confidence interval, CI): 0.64 (0.38-1.07), p = 0.088]. It is rather unlikely that rs11655081 across ARSG is a major genetic risk contributor for BSP.
