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

Introduction: The effect of coding polymorphisms of the β Methods: To identify pleiotropic effects of Results: The minor T allele of Thr164Ile was associated with reduced lung function, but not COPD or asthma or risk of exacerbations on long-acting β-agonist treatment. It was also associated with nonrespiratory traits including increased eosinophil counts and blood lipid measurements, including increased cholesterol, reduced triglycerides and reduced apolipoprotein A. Proteins associated with Thr164Ile (p≤0.01) were enriched for various pathways, with the eosinophil-raising allele associated with reduced neutrophil degranulation, immunoregulatory interactions between lymphoid and nonlymphoid cells, tumour necrosis factor binding and DAP12 interactions, as well as activation of lipid metabolism pathways, including FXR/RXR activation and LXR/RXR activation. A gene-based analysis of rare, nonsynonymous Discussion: In conclusion, the lung function-lowering allele of Thr164Ile is associated with traits and proteins indicative of a role in immune and lipid metabolism pathways, suggesting potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
