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

purposePresent study was intended to investigate the potential contribution of TRPV5 gene polymorphisms with calcium urolithiasis in the population of West Bengal, India.

methodsA case-control study was performed with 152 calcium urolithiasis patients and 144 corresponding healthy controls. Epidemiological and clinical parameters were documented as well as peripheral blood sample was collected from each individual, followed by genomic DNA isolation. Then to identify genetic variants of TRPV5, the entire coding region and exon-intron boundaries of the gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction using specific oligonucleotide primers and then genotypes were determined by bi-directional DNA sequencing and sequence alignment between case and control individuals.

resultsUrinary calcium excretion was found to be significantly high (p value < 0.0001) in urolithiasis patients as compared to controls. A total of 14 SNPs were obtained of which one non-synonymous (rs4236480; p.Arg154His; CGT > CAT), one synonymous (rs4252417; p.Tyr278Tyr; TAC > TAT) and three intronic (rs4252400, rs4252402, rs4236481) SNPs were found to be significantly associated with increased risk of urolithiasis. For non-synonymous SNP rs4236480, 'A' was found to be the risk allele (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.24-2.51; p value 0.001) and genotype frequency analysis revealed that individuals carrying variant genotype AA were more prone to the disease than individuals with wild genotype GG (OR 3.09, 95% CI 1.26-7.59; p value 0.0136), indicating AA as the risk genotype.

conclusionsThe non-synonymous SNP rs4236480 showed significant association with urolithiasis risk in West Bengal population of India. Future translational and larger population-based studies are required to validate our finding.
