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

Purpose: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a leading cause of central vision impairment in the working-age population with male predilection. Knowledge about the genetic basis of CSCR and its male predilection remained limited. This study aimed to evaluate the association patterns of multiple gene variants in chronic CSCR (cCSCR) in Chinese patients. Methods: This case-control genetic association study included 531 patients with cCSCR and 2383 controls from two independent Chinese cohorts. Nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of six genes, namely CFH, NR3C2, GATA5, VIPR2, TNFRSF10A, and ARMS2, were genotyped in all subjects. The main outcome measures were the association of individual single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with cCSCR, the sex-stratification effects of individual SNP, and joint effects of different SNPs on cCSCR. Results: Association results in the two cohorts were consistent with low heterogeneities. In the combined analysis, SNPs CFH rs800292 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.25, P = 0.0020), CFH rs1329428 (OR = 1.23, P = 0.0037), and TNFRSF10A rs13278062 (OR = 1.43, P = 0.0014) were significantly associated with cCSCR. In stratification analysis by sex, 3 SNPs in CFH, rs3753394, rs800292, and rs1329428, were associated with cCSCR in male patients, but not in female patients. Joint analysis revealed that subjects homozygous for the risk alleles of CFH rs800292 and TNFRSF10A rs13278062 had over 4-fold of increased risk of cCSCR when compared with subjects homozygous for the non-risk alleles (OR = 4.06, P = 2.30 × 10-5). Conclusions: This study revealed main and joint effects of SNPs in CFH and TNFRSF10A on cCSCR, and suggested CFH as a potential genetic factor underlying the male predilection of cCSCR. Further replication in other study populations is needed.
