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.

Abstract

Post traumatic seizures (PTS) occur frequently after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) neurotransmission is central to excitotoxicity and seizure development across multiple models, we investigated how genetic variability for glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) influences risk for PTS. Using both a tagging and functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) approach, we genotyped the GAD1 and GAD2 genes and linked them with PTS data, regarding time to first seizure, obtained for 257 adult subjects with severe TBI. No significant associations were found for GAD2. In the GAD1 gene, the tagging SNP (tSNP) rs3828275 was associated with an increased risk for PTS occurring <1 wk. The tSNP rs769391 and the functional SNP rs3791878 in the GAD1 gene were associated with increased PTS risk occurring 1 wk-6 mo post-injury. Both risk variants conferred an increased susceptibility to PTS compared to subjects with 0-1 risk variant. Also, those with haplotypes having both risk variants had a higher PTS risk 1 wk-6 mo post-injury than those without these haplotypes. Similarly, diplotype analysis showed those with 2 copies of the haplotype containing both risk alleles were at the highest PTS risk. These results implicate genetic variability within the GABA system in modulating the development of PTS.
