Molecular Epidemiology of TGF-β1 Gene Variants and Their Relationship With Adult Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients Visiting Injibara Comprehensive Hospital in Northwest Ethiopia: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aim: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder influenced by environmental and genetic factors. The TGF-β1 codon 10 T > C polymorphism has been investigated as a potential genetic factor for T2DM, but evidence from African populations, particularly Ethiopia, remains limited. This study aimed to assess the association between TGF-β1 codon 10 T > C polymorphism and T2DM among patients attending Injibara Comprehensive Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: A case-control study was conducted among 230 participants (115 T2DM cases and 115 controls). Sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical data were collected using a structured questionnaire. DNA was extracted from blood samples, and TGF-β1 codon 10 T > C polymorphism was genotyped using ARMS-PCR. Associations were assessed using bivariate and multivariable logistic regression. Results: The TC genotype was significantly associated with higher odds of T2DM compared with the TT genotype (AOR = 3.326, 95% CI: 1.009-10.969, Conclusion: The TGF-β1 codon 10 TC genotype and C allele were associated with T2DM in this study, whereas the CC genotype was not significantly associated. These findings should be interpreted cautiously and require confirmation in larger studies.
