Article in Atherosclerosis, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01231958 (The Boston Puerto Rican Health Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.

Abstract

objectivePuerto Ricans experience a high prevalence of several chronic conditions, including metabolic syndrome. Genetic variants of the CD36 gene have been associated with metabolic syndrome. We aimed to determine the association between 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for CD36 and metabolic syndrome and its components in Puerto Ricans (45-75 year) living in the Greater Boston area.

methodsAssociations between each SNP, metabolic syndrome and its components were examined using multivariate logistic regression models. Haplotype trend regression analysis was used to determine associations between haplotypes and metabolic syndrome.

resultsFor two SNPs of CD36 (rs1049673 and rs3211931), homozygous subjects of the minor allele (G and T, respectively) were associated with a higher likelihood of metabolic syndrome (odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI)): 1.89 (1.0, 3.5) and 1.77 (1.0, 3.1), respectively) relative to carriers of the major allele. Although CD36 haplotypes were not significantly associated with metabolic syndrome overall (global significance, P=0.23), one haplotype (G-C-C vs. C-C-C (reference haplotype)) was marginally associated (P=0.049).

conclusionSNPs of CD36 were associated with metabolic syndrome in Puerto Ricans. Prospective studies should further explore the role of CD36 variants in the development of this condition.
