Polymorphisms rs693421 and rs2499601 at locus 1q43 and their haplotypes are not associated with primary open-angle glaucoma: a case-control study.
Article in BMC research notes, 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
objectiveThe genetic spectrum of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in middle-eastern Saudi's is still elusive. To this end, we investigated an association between rs693421, rs2499601 and their haplotypes at chromosome 1q43 locus with POAG and its related clinical phenotypes. Genotyping was performed with TaqMan
resultsThe minor "T" allele frequency of rs693421 was 0.48 in controls and 0.52 in cases (odds ratio (OR) = 1.15, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.85-1.54, p = 0.368). Similarly, for rs2499601, the minor "C" allele frequency was 0.49 in controls as compared to 0.53 in cases (OR = 1.19, 95% CI 0.89-1.60, p = 0.236). Besides, genotype distribution for both these polymorphisms was also not significant in additive, dominant and recessive models. rs693421 and rs2499601, showed significant linkage disequilibrium (D' statistics = 0.69, p < 0.001) but haplotype association was non-significant (p = 0.698). The significance did not vary after adjustment to age and sex. No significant genotype association was observed with intraocular pressure, cup/disc ratio and number of anti-glaucoma medication in POAG group. Furthermore, age, sex and genotypes did not contribute any significant risk of POAG in regression analysis. We report no association between rs693421, rs2499601 and their haplotypes with POAG and related phenotypes.
