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

FTO gene polymorphism related to type 2 diabetes and obesity was studied in this north Indian population. This study was done, due to a continuous increase in the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes in north Indian population, because of lifestyle and genetic variations. Clinically diagnosed subjects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (as per ADA criteria) were taken as cases and age and sex matched subjects without any associated illness were taken as controls. Obesity was estimated by calculating waist circumference and BMI in the study cases and controls. For genetic variation, DNA was isolated with Quaigen kit method and isolated DNA was amplified with PCR. Amplified DNA was resolved in 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, OR, CI and
