Genetic variants in the ITPR2 gene are associated with Kashin-Beck Disease in Tibetan.
Article in Molecular genetics & genomic medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundKashin-Beck Disease (KBD) is a chronic, endemic osteoarthropathy. Inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor type 2 (ITPR2) gene is involved in chondrocytes. We speculated that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ITPR2 gene may have an association with KBD in Tibetan.
methodsTo prove this hypothesis, a total of eight SNPs (rs1049376, rs11048526, rs11048556, rs11048585, rs16931011, rs10842759, rs2230372, and rs7134213) were selected, and genotyped in 316 KBD patients and 320 controls. The association between ITPR2 variants and KBD risk was assessed by logistic regression analysis.
resultsThe study identified significant association (p = 0.019) between KBD and a novel locus, ITPR2 SNP rs11048526 (OR = 1.49, 95% CI = 1.07-2.08). The variant A/G genotype frequency in rs11048526 had a significantly increased risk of KBD in co-dominant model (OR = 3.70, 95% CI = 1.26-10.89, p = 0.018), dominant model (OR = 3.56, 95% CI = 1.22-10.40, p = 0.020), log-additive model (OR = 3.00, 95% CI = 1.12-8.00, p = 0.029) after adjusted for age and gender.
conclusionThe results indicate a potential association between ITPR2 and KBD risk in Tibetan. Further work is required to confirm these results and explore the mechanisms of these effects.
