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 studies have revealed that genetic polymorphisms of the Glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 (GSTM1 and GSTT1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) are associated with the presence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in many populations. This study was conducted to investigate the association of the GSTM1, GSTT1, TNF-α rs1800629, and IL-6 rs1800795 with NAFLD in the general Iranian population. A case-control analysis included 242 NAFLD patients and 324 healthy controls from Iranian adults. After the physical examination, the genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). The GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null, TNF-α AG/AA, and IL-6 CG/CC genotypes were deemed to be high-risk. The null allele of GSTM1 and A allele of TNF-α were more frequent in NAFLD patients even after Bonferroni's correction (P values<0.005, adjusted odds ratio (OR), 1.66 and 2.02; 95% confidence intervals (CI), (1.18-2.32) and (1.34-3.34), respectively. The IL-6 CC/CG genotype association with NAFLD was not significant after correction (P value = 0.04) Polymorphisms of xenobiotic and pro-inflammatory genes are associated with NAFLD in the Iranian population and seem to be a useful tool for NAFLD prevention and care.
