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

backgroundThrombophilia is a hypercoagulable state that may have a genetic basis (inherited) or can be acquired. It is a multifactorial condition and only the mutual interactions between the environment and genes may lead to the development of clinical manifestation. This state is the main factor promoting venous (rarely arterial) thromboembolism (VTE). Inherited thrombophilia is mainly associated with two pathogenic variants in the V coagulation factor (FV) and the prothrombin (FII) genes. The aim of our study was to evaluate the frequency of two pathogenic variants in FII and FV genes as inherited thrombophilia factors in a group within the Polish population in comparison with other described populations.

methodsAll studied groups consisted of 633 unrelated patients aged between 18 and 70. Individuals in the research group come from the Podlasie region of Poland. Genotyping of FII and FV variants was performed using the 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System and were genotyped by TaqMan assay.

resultsThe pathogenic allele frequency for A allele was 0.03 (3%) and 0.07 (7%) for FII and FV genes, respectively. The GA/AA genotypes (c.*97G > A variant) were observed in only 33 (5.03%) individuals in the studied group. Additionally, the frequency of GA/AA genotypes was over 17.4% in the coagulation factor V. Co-incidence of heterozygous genotype GA of variants FII and FV genes was observed in only 4 subjects.

conclusionThe FII gene variant shown in our study is less frequent than in other European countries (about 6%). In contrast, the A allele of the FV gene occurs with a frequency similar to that of Northern, Central and South Central Europe (about 5%).
