Matrix Metalloproteases 8 Polymorphism as Risk Factor for Rotator Cuff Tear.

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
Objectives: Rotator Cuff Tear (RCT) is a multifactorial disease, but an important one is the increased collagen degradation that would lead to a higher chance of tear. MMP-8 is a protein that degrades type I collagen, and it is known that MMP-8 has a polymorphism in which a T allele in the gene promoter region increases its transcription activity. This study aims to investigate the association between MMP-8 polymorphism g.-799 C>T (rs11225394) and RCT. Methods: To do that, we collected DNA samples from buccal epithelial cells of 128 patients (separated into RCT group and control group in a proportion 1:1) and genotyped the DNA using PCR. The statistical analyses were done using the ARLEQUIN Version 2.0, and the data normality was tested with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Results: The results showed a significantly higher frequency of T/T genotype in the test group (29% in the control group and 39% in the test group, p=0.0417), and that would represent a risk factor for increased collagen degradation. Conclusion: The MMP-8 g.-799 C>T (rs11225394) SNP was associated with RCT. With the description of a new risk factor, future research can be done to analyze how to prevent RCT or develop new treatment strategies since the disease's failure index is currently high.
