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

Variations in several nuclear genes predisposing humans to the development of MODY diabetes have been very well characterized by modern genetic diagnostics. However, recent reports indicate that variants in the mtDNA genome may also be associated with the diabetic phenotype. As relatively little research has addressed the entire mitochondrial genome in this regard, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the genetic variations present in mtDNA among individuals susceptible to MODY diabetes. In total, 193 patients with a MODY phenotype were tested with a custom panel with mtDNA enrichment. Heteroplasmic variants were selected for further analysis via further sequencing based on long-range PCR to evaluate the potential contribution of frequent NUMTs (acronym for nuclear mitochondrial DNA) insertions. Twelve extremely rare variants with a potential damaging character were selected, three of which were likely to be the result of NUMTs from the nuclear genome. The variant m.3243A>G in
