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

purposeTo investigate whether there is a relationship between the VEGF polymorphisms and idiopathic heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB-E)Query.

methodsSixty-five patients diagnosed with HMB-E according to the FIGO classification system and 65 female healthy volunteers were included in the study. The polymorphic regions rs699947 (- 2578C > A), rs1570360 (- 1154G > A), rs2010963 (+ 405G > C), rs3025039 (+ 936C > T), rs25648 (c534C > T) in the VEGF were detected using Next Generation DNA Sequencing method.

resultsThe - 2578C > A polymorphism CC genotype, CA + AA genotypes, and C allele, as well as the - 1154G > A polymorphism AA genotype, and A allele were associated with increased risk of HMB-E (p < 0.05 for all). However, no statistically significant difference was found between the patient group and the control group in terms of genotype and allele distributions in the 405G > C, + 936C > T, c534C > T polymorphic regions (p > 0.05 for all). While the - 2578/ - 1154/ + 405/c534 AGGC haplotype decreased the risk of HMB-E, the CAGC haplotype was found to increase the risk of HMB-E.

conclusionVEGF - 2578C > A and - 1154G > A polymorphisms were significantly associated with the risk of HMB-E in the Turkish population.
