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

backgroundMethyltetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a main regulatory enzyme in homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism. A common C677T mutation in the MTHFR gene results in decreased enzyme activity, which contributes to hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). Previous studies have shown that HHcy was correlated with various systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, renal failure and so on. However, we hypothesized that HHcy in different genotype and sex groups may have different risk factors, which would lead to various pathologic states. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore systemic information that are correlated with HHcy for specific

methodsThis cross-sectional study was performed through November 2017 to July 2019. A total of 4,534 adults aged 20-75 y were selected for this study. All the participants underwent a physical examination, blood tests and

resultsThe average of Hcy level is higher in the TT genotype than CC and CT genotypes (P=0.000). Multiple linear regression analysis identified the common protective factors (folate and Vit B12) and risk factor (Cr) for HHcy. Besides that, each group has its specific risk factors-female-CT (age, SBP, and Hb), female-TT (SBP and AST); male-CC (age, AST and Hb), male-CT (age and AST) and male-TT (SBP, AST, and Hb).

conclusionsHHcy was associated with different risk factors for each specific sex and genotype. These risk factors might be useful for predicting and preventing systemic diseases.
