RhoA, ROCK-1, and ROCK-2 Gene Expression and Polymorphisms in Cholesteatoma Patients.
Article in The journal of international advanced otology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the gene polymorphism and expressions of Rho-A, ROCK-1, and ROCK-2 in cholesteatoma.
methodsIn this study, 120 healthy control group patients and 120 cholesteatoma patients were enrolled. Venous blood was taken from all of the cholesteatoma and control group patients. The genotyping of ROCK-1(G/T)rs35996865, ROCK-2(A/C)rs10178332, and Rho-A(A/T)rs2177268 polymorphisms was performed using predesigned TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays. Assays-on-Demand SNP genotyping kit was used for the realtime polymerase chain reaction. The expression levels of Rho-A(Hs00357608_m1), ROCK-1(Hs01127699_m1), and ROCK-2(Hs00178154_m1) genes were determined.
resultsThe expression of Rho-A, ROCK-1, and ROCK-2 was lower in cholesteatoma patients than in the control group. There was no difference in Rho-AAT/TT and ROCK-1GT/TT variation in cholesteatoma patients compared to the control. However, ROCK-2 AC/CC variance was lower in cholesteatoma patients.
conclusionThe expression of Rho-A, ROCK-1, and ROCK-2 genes may be decreased in cholesteatoma. Furthermore, since ROCK-2 AC/CC genotype is also lower in cholesteatoma, having C allele seems to decrease the risk of developing this disease.
