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

Renin-angiotensin (RAS) genes, a group of promising candidate genes involved in essential hypertension (EH), play a key role in blood pressure regulation. Recently, a series of novel RAS gene polymorphisms were reported, which significantly influence the rate of the gene transcription. This study was designed to explore the association between the RAS gene polymorphisms and EH in a remote countryside population. We examined six polymorphisms in the main component genes of RAS: angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) (I/D), angiotensinogen (AGT) (A-6G, A-20C, G-217A and T174 M) and angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) (A1166C). Six polymorphisms were genotyped by gene chip technology. Association studies were performed in 220 EH patients and 235 normotensives. Our results revealed that AGT A-6G, T174 M and ACE-I/D were significantly associated with EH (AGT A-6G: AG+GG vs AA; OR=1.36; 95% CI=1.04-1.77. T174M: CT+TT vs CC; OR=1.45; 95% CI=1.15-1.90. ACE I/D: ID+DD vs II; OR=1.171; 95% CI=1.00-1.37). Moreover the logistic regression analysis suggested that the haplotype of AGT -6A, 174C, -217G and -20A might decrease the risk of EH (OR=0.64; 95% CI=0.49-0.83), after adjusting the confounding factors of gender, age and BMI. In conclusion, the AGT A-6G, T174 M and ACE I/D polymorphisms are associated with EH and the AGT haplotype -6A, 174C, -217G and -20A decrease the risk of EH in the southern Chinese population.
