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

objectiveTo search for genetic association between microsatellite marker loci and sibling pairs with nodal osteoarthritis (NOA).

methodsUsing the affected sibling pair method of analysis, genomic DNA from 66 sib pairs with NOA was analysed for association with highly polymorphic microsatellite marker loci. The microsatellite markers were amplified using polymerase chain reaction and typed on polyacrylamide gels.

resultsA significant association (p < 0.05) was identified between NOA and two loci on the short arm of chromosome 2 (2q 23-35). Candidate genes for osteoarthritis in this region include: fibronectin, a glycoprotein present in the extracellular matrix of normal cartilage; the alpha 2 chain of collagen type V, a major constituent of bone; and the interleukin-8 receptor, important in the regulation of neutrophil activation and chemotaxis.

conclusionsThe chromosomal region 2q 23-35 requires further detailed study in NOA. Confirmation of these findings in large independent data sets and further analysis of candidate genes in this region will be important in unravelling the molecular basis for this common disease.
