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

purposeTo investigate possible associations of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from five genes with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

methodsA total of 69 patients with retinal vein occlusion-RVO (24 with BRVO and 45 with CRVO), and 82 controls, were enrolled in this study. All subjects were screened for hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, glaucoma, anticoagulant medication, smoking status and history of stroke. The genotyping of AGTR1-A1166C, adiponectin + 276 G/T, MMP2-1306C/T, Gpla/lla-C807T/G873A and VKORC1-G1639A polymorphisms was performed using restriction fragment length polymorphism or allele-specific polymerase chain reaction.

resultsThe percentage of the AGTR1-A1166C C allele carriers and Gpla/lla-C807T/G873A T/A carriers was significantly higher in the CRVO patients than in the controls (P = 0.00001 and P = 0.0004, respectively). At the multiple logistic regression analysis, the AGTR1-A1166C C allele carrier status and the Gpla/lla-C807T/G873A T/A allele carrier status were found to be associated with an increased risk of CRVO. Moreover, adiponectin + 276 G/T T allele carriers had a significantly increased risk of RVO in subjects ≥ 75 years old. There was no significant difference between the BRVO patients and controls concerning the genotype or the allele frequency distributions of these SNPs. The genotype distributions or allelic frequencies of the other evaluated polymorphisms did not significantly differ between the patients with RVO and the control subjects.

conclusionsAGTR1 A1166C and Gpla/lla C807T/G873A polymorphisms are likely to be risk factors for CRVO. Adiponectin + 276 G/T SNP is likely to predispose to RVO in older subjects.
