Interaction of thrombophilic SNPs in patients with unexplained infertility-multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) model analysis.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeOur aim was to evaluate the frequency and SNP-SNP interactions between factor V Leiden (FVL) G1691A, prothrombin G20210A mutation, and C677T MTHFR and PAI-1 4G/5G gene polymorphisms in female IVF patients with unexplained infertility (UI) by using a multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) model analysis.
methodsA total of 225 subjects were enrolled in the study. There were 105 females in UI group and 120 healthy controls. Designated SNPs were determined by using allele-specific PCR methods. The difference in thrombophilia prevalence was assessed by a chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. Four-locus SNP interaction model was tested using the MDR approach. A ten-fold cross-validation consistency (CVC) and permutation testing were performed.
resultsThere was a significant difference of MTHFR C677T polymorphism frequency between the groups. Significantly less UI patients had MTHFR CC genotype (p = 0.005), while the risk allele T was more frequent (OR = 1.83, p = 0.0018). Logistic regression determined a significant association only for MTHFR C677T in our patients (TT genotype OR = 2.99). The MDR analysis confirmed the significance of a single-locus model for MTHFR C677T polymorphism (p = 0.015; OR = 2.93). However, the best, significant predictive model was the two-locus model comprising MTHFR C677T and FVL (CVC = 10/10, testing accuracy = 60.95%, p = 0.013; OR = 3.02).
conclusionThe MTHFR C677T polymorphism was significantly associated with UI, with minor allele T being more frequent. Additionally, there was a significantly increased presence of MTHFR C677T with FVL mutation in these patients. Therefore, MTHFR and its interaction with FVL should be recognized as contributing factors in the pathogenesis of infertility.
