Gene-environment interactions in atherosclerosis.
Review in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The importance of environment and genetics working together to shape an individual's risk for atherosclerosis seems intuitively obvious. However, it is only recently that research strategies have begun to evolve that attempt to answer questions related to apportionment of risk that is due to specific environmental and genetic factors. These factors may impact upon risk either singly or, more likely, through a complex interaction that affects the metabolic history of the whole organism. Because the genetic bases of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism have been well-studied, and because of the epidemiologic and pathobiochemical associations between genetic disorders of lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis, researchers have searched for gene-environment interactions within animal and human systems in which the phenotype is defined by some index of lipoprotein metabolism. From work done in the lipoprotein area to this point a clear case can be made for: 1) the genetic influence over the phenotypic response to an environmental stimulus; 2) the environmental modulation of the phenotypic expression of severe genetic defects. In the realm of gene-environment interactions that affect lipoprotein phenotype, diet is the best-studied environmental factor.
