Association between AXIN1 gene polymorphism (rs9921222) of WNT signaling pathway and susceptibility to osteoporosis in Egyptian patients: a case-control study.

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
backgroundOsteoporosis (OP) is the most prevalent metabolic bone disease. Numerous genetic loci are strongly related to OP. AXIN1 is a significant gene that serves an important role in the WNT signaling pathway. The aim of this study was to explore the association between the AXIN1 genetic polymorphism (rs9921222) and OP susceptibility.
methodsA total of 101 subjects were enrolled in the study (50 patients with OP and 51 healthy individuals). Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood using the QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit, and the AXIN1 gene polymorphism (rs9921222) was genotyped by TaqMan allelic discrimination assays. A logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between genotypes and OP risk.
resultsWe found that AXIN1 rs9921222 had a significant association with the susceptibility of OP under the homozygote model (TT vs. CC: OR = 16.6, CI = 2.03-136.4, p = 0.009), (CT vs. CC: OR = 6.3, CI = 1.23-31.8, p = 0.027), recessive genetic model (TT vs.TC-CC: OR = 13.6, CI = 1.7-110.4, p = 0.015), and the dominant model (TT-TC vs. CC: OR = 9.7, CI = 2.6-36.3, p < 0.001). Allele T was significantly associated with OP risk (T vs. C: OR = 10.5, CI = 3.5-31.15, p = 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between genotypes in mean platelet volume (p = 0.004), and platelet distribution width (p = 0.025). In addition, lumbar spine bone density, and femur neck bone density were significantly different between genotypes (p < 0.001).
conclusionAXIN1 rs9921222 was associated with OP susceptibility in the Egyptian population and should be considered a potential determinant risk for OP.
