Review in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundThis study aimed to synthesize evidence on the association between IL-10 gene (-819 C/T, -1082 A/G, -592 A/C) polymorphisms and the risk of developing diabetic nephropathy.

methodsA systematic literature search was done in health-related electronic databases. The search was limited to studies published in English until September 2017. We also checked the references of retrieved articles and relevant reviews for any additional studies. The methodological quality of the studies included in this review was assessed using the 'Scales for Quality Assessment'. The

resultsEight case-control studies (1192 cases with diabetic nephropathy and 2399 controls) met the inclusion criteria. Three groups of people namely Africans, Asians and Caucasians were included in this review. There were significant protective effects of SNP -819 C/T in overall population (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.26-0.4) and - 1082 A/G SNP in the Asian population (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.47-0.86) on diabetic nephropathy in the recessive model. There was no significant effect of -592 A/C on diabetic nephropathy.

conclusionThe findings suggest the protective effects of -1082A/G and -819G/A polymorphisms on the risk of developing diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in the Asian population. Well- designed, prospective studies with sufficient number of participants are recommended to substantiate these findings.
