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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by joint destruction with cartilage loss and occasional gross derangement of joint integrity. In recent years, several studies have reported the association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and knee OA. However, the results were conflicting. To determine the association between ACE gene I/D polymorphism and knee OA, we conducted a hospital-based case-control study with 282 knee OA cases and 316 controls to investigate the association between ACE gene I/D polymorphism and knee OA susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. The present study found that DD genotype or D allele carriers of ACE gene I/D polymorphism increased the risk of knee OA. Stratification analyses of sex, age, and body mass index (BMI) showed significant associations amongst the groups of females, ≥55 years, and abnormal BMI. In addition, the present study made analysis between ACE I/D polymorphism and some clinical features of OA, and found DD genotype of I/D polymorphism was associated with arthralgia. Furthermore, we undertook a meta-analysis together with the present study between this single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and knee OA risk. This meta-analysis found that ACE gene I/D polymorphism was associated with increased risk for OA. Stratification analysis of ethnicity in this meta-analysis indicated that I/D polymorphism increased the risk of knee OA amongst the Asians and Caucasians. In conclusion, this case-control study and meta-analysis suggest that ACE gene I/D polymorphism is associated with increased risk for knee OA.
