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

Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a key gene involved in the repair of DNA damage and DNA synthesis that plays an important role in vascular development and recovery. In particular, TS gene polymorphisms play a major role in the progression of vascular disease and cancer metastasis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association of three TS polymorphisms (1100T>C [rs699517], 1170A>G [rs2790], and 1494ins/del [rs151264360]) with ischemic stroke and silent brain infarction (SBI) in Koreans. A total of 1299 participants (507 stroke patients, 383 SBI patients, and 409 controls) were enrolled in the study. Genotyping of the three TS polymorphisms was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. To examine the association between TS gene polymorphisms and the diseases, we performed statistical analyses, including multivariable logistic regression and Fisher's exact tests. We found that TS 1100T>C and 1170A>G genotypes were strongly associated with ischemic stroke and SBI susceptibility. More specifically, the TS 1100T>C polymorphism was associated with the likelihood of ischemic stroke (TT vs. CC: AOR = 2.151, 95% CI = 1.275-3.628,
