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

purposeThe interaction of Vitamin D and its receptor plays a crucial role in immune modulation. Therefore, the relationship between the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and the genetic variants of Vitamin D receptor, which is involved in the activity of Vitamin D, was studied extensively in different populations. The association of Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms with predisposition to type 1 diabetes revealed controversial and inconclusive results. The aim of this study was to examine the association of four Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms with type 1 diabetes in Jordanian patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsAnalysis of the single nucleotide polymorphisms FokI (rs2228570), ApaI (rs7975232), TaqI (rs731236) and BsmI (rs1544410) in 100 Jordanian volunteers (50 control and 50 Type 1 diabetes patients) was performed using the highly specific New Generation Sequencing technology.

resultsThe distribution of allele, genotype as well as haplotype frequencies exhibited no significant (P > 0.05) differences between type 1 diabetes patients and controls. Furthermore, no differences (P > 0.05) in the frequency of the genotypes of the Vitamin D receptor genetic variants were found in relation to the age of disease onset.

conclusionThese findings suggest these four single nucleotide polymorphisms of the Vitamin D receptor gene seem not to be associated with type 1 diabetes predisposition in Jordanian patients. Further wide genome studies are recommended to detect other genetic variant associations with type 1 diabetes among Jordanians.
