Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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

Common multigene disorders account for 80% of deaths in the world and all have significant genetic predisposition. Coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction (MI) account for more than 40% of these deaths. The genetic component is due to multiple genes, each contributing only minimally to the phenotype. Linkage analysis, which has been successful in identifying rare disorders that cause MI, is not sensitive for multigene disorders. The recent candidate case-control approach has been equally unsuccessful. Multigene disorders require genome-wide association studies involving genotyping hundreds of thousands of DNA markers in thousands of individuals with replication in independent populations. Platforms with 500,000 and 1 million single nucleotide polymorphisms provide the necessary high-throughput genotyping for genome-wide association. The first confirmed common locus, 9p21, is independent of conventional risk factors. Identifying the 9p21 gene will elucidate novel mechanisms responsible for MI. Comprehensive prevention of MI based on individual genetic variants (personalized medicine) is expected in the next decade.
