Impact of Vitamin D Receptor Genotypes on Taiwan Hallux Valgus.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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/
aimHallux valgus (HV) is the most prevalent deformity affecting the forefoot; however, its genetic etiology remains unclear. In the literature, vitamin D receptor (VDR) genotypes have been reported to be associated with the risk of skeletal malformations accompanied by inflammation. This study aimed to examine the hypothesis that VDR genotypes are associated with the risk of HV. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe VDR rs731236, rs1544410, rs2228570 and rs7975232 genotypes of 150 HV patients and 600 non-HV subjects were determined using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methodology and examined regarding their associations with HV risk.
resultsThe results showed that none of the genetic frequency distributions of VDR rs731236, rs1544410, rs2228570, or rs7975232 were significant between the HV cases and non-HV controls (p for trend=0.4055, 0.2170, 0.7220, 0.5509, respectively). Additionally, allelic frequency analysis showed that none of the allelic frequencies of VDR rs731236, rs1544410, rs2228570, or rs7975232 were significantly distributed (p=0.2285, 0.1572, 0.9278, and 0.5547, respectively). Furthermore, stratified analysis showed that no correlation was observed between VDR rs731236 and different age groups (either younger or older than 51) or sex (p=0.3953 and p=0.9576). Moreover, no correlation was found between VDR rs731236 genotype and the risk of HV in individuals within subgroups of height, weight, or body mass index (BMI) (p=0.8317, 0.5346, and p=0.8783, respectively).
conclusionVDR rs731236, rs1544410, rs2228570, and rs7975232 may not serve as indicators for a higher risk of HV.
