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

AIMS/

introductionWe aimed to assess the distribution of transcription factor 7-like 2 gene TCF7L2 (rs7903146) polymorphism and to find possible associations between TCF7L2 and the characteristics of type 1 diabetes. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe studied 190 newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients (median age 12.7 years, range 2.0-72.5) and 246 controls (median age 23.8 years, range 1.4-81.5) for TCF7L2 single nucleotide polymorphism. We determined anti-islet autoantibodies, random C-peptide levels, diabetes associated HLA DR/DQ haplotypes and genotypes in all patients.

resultsThere were no differences in the distribution of TCF7L2 single nucleotide polymorphism between patients and controls. However, patients with in type 1 diabetes, after adjusting for age and sex, subjects carrying C allele were at risk for a C-peptide level lower than 0.5 nmol/L (OR 5.65 [95% CI: 1.14-27.92]) and for zinc transporter 8 autoantibody positivity (5.22 [1.34-20.24]). Participants without T allele were associated with a higher level of islet antigen-2 autoantibodies (3.51 [1.49-8.27]) and zinc transporter 8 autoantibodies (2.39 [1.14-4.99]).

conclusionsThe connection of TCF7L2 polymorphism with zinc transporter 8 and islet antigen-2 autoantibodies and C-peptide levels in patients supports the viewpoint that TCF7L2 is associated with the clinical signs and autoimmune characteristics of type 1 diabetes. The mechanisms of the interaction between the TCF7L2 risk genotype and anti-islet autoantibodies need to be studied further.
