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

We performed a genomewide scan for genes that predispose to low serum HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) in 25 well-defined Finnish families that were ascertained for familial low HDL-C and premature coronary heart disease. The potential loci for low HDL-C that were identified initially were tested in an independent sample group of 29 Finnish families that were ascertained for familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL), expressing low HDL-C as one component trait. The data from the previous genome scan were also reanalyzed for this trait. We found evidence for linkage between the low-HDL-C trait and three loci, in a pooled data analysis of families with low HDL-C and FCHL. The strongest statistical evidence was obtained at a locus on chromosome 8q23, with a two-point LOD score of 4.7 under a recessive mode of inheritance and a multipoint LOD score of 3.3. Evidence for linkage also emerged for loci on chromosomes 16q24.1-24.2 and 20q13.11, the latter representing a recently characterized region for type 2 diabetes. Besides these three loci, loci on chromosomes 2p and 3p showed linkage in the families with low HDL-C and a locus on 2ptel in the families with FCHL.
