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

backgroundMetastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1 (MALAT1) was aberrantly expressed in diverse diseases. Particularly in ischemic stroke (IS), the abnormal expression of MALAT1 played important roles including promotion of angiogenesis, inhibition of apoptosis and inflammation and regulation of autophagy. However, the effects of genetic variation (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) of MALAT1 on IS have rarely been explored. This study aimed to investigate whether SNPs in promoter of MALAT1 were associated with the susceptibility to IS.

methodsA total of 316 IS patients and 320 age-, gender-, and ethnicity-matched controls were enrolled in this study. Four polymorphisms in the promoter of MALAT1 (i.e., rs600231, rs1194338, rs4102217, and rs591291) were genotyped by using a custom-by-design 48-Plex SNPscan kit.

resultsThe rs1194338 C > A variant in the promoter of MALAT1 was associated with the risk of IS (AC vs. CC: adjusted OR = 0.623, 95% CI, 0.417-0.932, P = 0.021; AA vs. CC: adjusted OR = 0.474, 95% CI, 0.226-0.991, P = 0.047; Dominant model: adjusted OR = 0.596, 95% CI, 0.406-0.874, P = 0.008; A vs. C adjusted OR = 0.658, 95% CI, 0.487-0.890, P = 0.007). The haplotype analysis showed that rs600231-rs1194338-rs4102217-rs591291 (A-C-G-C) had a 1.3-fold increased risk of IS (95% CI, 1.029-1.644, P = 0.027). Logistic regression analysis identified some independent impact factors for IS including rs1194338 AC/AA, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, Apo-A1, Apo-B and NEFA (P < 0.05).

conclusionsThese results suggest that the rs1194338 AC/AA genotypes may be a protective factor for IS.
