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

backgroundVitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms are involved in a variety of immune-related diseases, and VDR is associated with allergic rhinitis. The present study explored the associations between VDR gene polymorphisms and allergic rhinitis in the Chinese population.

methodsThe study population consisted of 400 patients with allergic rhinitis and 400 healthy controls. General characteristics were determined by interview. Blood DNA was extracted and genotyping was performed via matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The associations of each genetic variant with risk for AR were assessed by calculating the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI).

resultsNo significant differences were observed in general characteristics between cases and controls. The distributions of genotypes at the rs2228570 locus of the VDR gene conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. There was a significant difference in the distribution of rs2228570 genotype (

conclusionVDR gene polymorphism is associated with AR, and the AA genotype of rs2228570 is associated with the increased risk of AR in the Chinese population.
