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

Previous etiologic studies have indicated that both environmental and genetic factors play important roles in the occurrence and development of chronic Achilles tendinopathy (AT). A recent study documented the results of the largest genome-wide association study for chronic AT to date, indicating that MPP7, TIMP2 and CASP8 may be involved in the occurrence and development of chronic AT. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether MPP7, TIMP2 and CASP8 were associated with susceptibility to chronic AP in a Han Chinese population. A total of 3,680 study subjects comprised 1,288 chronic AT cases, and 2,392 healthy controls were recruited. Forty-four tag SNPs (7 from CASP8, 20 from MPP7, and 17 from TIMP2) were genotyped in the study. Genetic association analyses were performed at both single marker and haplotype levels. Functional consequences of significant SNPs were examined in the RegulomeDB and GTEx databases. Two SNPs, SNP rs1937810 (OR [95%CI] = 1.20 [1.09-1.32], χ
