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

backgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder that affects women in their child-bearing age, and is associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The etiology of PCOS involves multiple factors including genetic, metabolic and immunological factors. Interleukin - 10 (IL-10), as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, plays a critical role in this regard. We investigated the potential role of IL-10 gene variants in the development of PCOS in Tunisian population. METHODS AND

results115 cases and 120 controls were recruited in the current case control study. Rotterdam consensus criteria were used to diagnose PCOS patients. Genotyping for IL-10, rs1800896, rs1800871 and rs1800872 variants, was performed by real time PCR. The results obtained showed that the minor allele frequency of rs1800896, rs1800871and rs1800872 were comparable between PCOS cases and control subjects (P = 0.30, P = 0.71, and P = 0.57 respectively). The distribution analysis revealed an unsignificant association of the three tested variants, in all genetic models. Haplotype analysis identified one haplotype CCA with a protective role in PCOS development (P = 0.05; OR (95% CI) = 0.56 (0.32 - 0.99)). This association did not persist after adjustment for multiples covariates (Pc = 0.154).

conclusionsOur study is the first to show how ethnicity influences the association of IL-10 gene variants with PCOS susceptibility. No allelic nor genetic association were observed between the tested variants and PCOS in Tunisian women, however, a particular IL-10 haplotype with a protective effect for PCOS was identified.
