Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Atherosclerosis, the primary cause of coronary artery disease (CAD), is a multifactorial disease, the molecular etiology of which involves interaction of many genes and environmental factors. Reactive oxygen species are integral to many cellular and biomolecular processes that are active in the transition of incipient fatty streaks into acute coronary syndromes. Animal models of atherosclerosis and correlative data from human studies support the oxidative stress hypothesis of atherosclerosis. However, the association of genetic polymorphisms that underlie enhanced oxidative stress with CAD is controversial. In this review, we discuss polymorphisms in genes that are main sources of reactive oxygen species generation (NADH oxidase, endothelial nitric oxide synthase, and myeloperoxidase) in mitochondria and the antioxidant enzymes paraoxonase, glutathione reductase, and heme oxygenase. The contribution of defined genetic variants involved in oxidative homeostasis to human atherosclerosis susceptibility is modest because regulation of oxidative stress is multifactorial. However, the contribution of genetic haplotypes in concert with environmental factors is likely significant. A more rigorous characterization of genetic and oxidative phenotypes together with characterization of novel gene polymorphisms may help in early therapeutic intervention for CAD.
