Missense mutations in the CITED2 gene may contribute to congenital heart disease.

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
backgroundCongenital heart disease (CHD) is a lifelong abnormality present from birth. Multiple studies have shown that mutations in genes involved in heart development could cause congenital heart disease. The CITED2 gene works as a transcription factor in the hypoxic pathway for the development of the heart. Therefore, five CHD types, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, atrioventricular septal defect, tetralogy of fallot, and patent ductus arteriosus, were evaluated by conducting a targeted single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis of the CITED2 gene variant rs375393125 (T > C). This study aimed to identify the association of CITED2 gene mutations in CHD patients.
methodsThree hundred fifty samples, 250 from patients and 100 from controls, were collected for this genetic analysis. Allele-specific PCR and gel electrophoresis were used to identify the target missense mutations. The genotypic results of the CHDs were further validated through Sanger sequencing.
resultsThe frequency of the homozygous mutant (CC) in CHD patients was 48.4%, and of the heterozygous mutant (TC) genotype was 11.4%; these percentages are higher than controls (1%). The control samples had only one heterozygous TC and no homozygous CC genotype. The chi-square value was obtained at 103.9 with a probability of 0.05, more significant than the significance value of 21.03. The odds ratio was 43.7, which is > 1. The calculated value of ANOVA was 11.6, which was more significant than the F critical value of 3.7. As a result of sequencing, the mutant sample of each selected CHD type was found heterozygous or homozygous, and the results were like those obtained through conventional PCR.
conclusionThe samples of CHD patients showed mutations. Therefore, the CITED2 gene SNP might be associated with CHD.
