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

aimGenetic susceptibility is an important risk factor for aortic aneurysm and dissection. Recent case-control association studies have identified six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a Caucasian population. We aimed to determine whether these loci confer susceptibility to thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) in a Chinese Han population and thus to establish cross-race susceptibility to TAD.

methodsThis study analyzed blood DNA isolated from 206 TAD patients and 180 controls from the ethnic Chinese Han population. Six SNPs - rs819146, rs8003379, rs2853523, rs326118, rs3788205, and rs10757278 - were genotyped using high-throughput matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry.

resultsThe A allele frequency for the SNP on 9p21, tagged as rs10757278, was higher in male TAD patients than in male controls (P=0.017). Moreover, with adjustment for traditional cardiovascular risk factors (sex, age, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and smoking), the rs10757278 [odds ratio (OR) 0.63, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.43 to 0.93] polymorphism was found to be an independent susceptibility factor for TAD in men.

conclusionOur results suggest that a sequence variant on 9p21 is an important susceptibility locus that confers high cross-race risk for development of TAD in Chinese Han population.
