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

Published data on the association between prothrombin G20210A polymorphism and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. A total of 42 case-control studies including 15,041 cases and 21,507 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, significantly elevated CAD risk was associated with prothrombin G20210A polymorphism (OR, 1.22; 95% CI 1.07-1.40; P=0.003) when 39 eligible studies were pooled into the meta-analysis. In the subgroup analysis, borderline statistically increased risk was found for myocardial infarction in 22 case-control studies (OR, 1.27; 95% CI 1.00-1.61; P=0.05). When stratified by ethnicity, significantly elevated risk was found in Europeans (OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.02-1.38; P=0.02). However, no statistical differences were found among Americans and Asians. In summary, this meta-analysis indicated that prothrombin G20210A allele is a low-penetrant risk factor for developing CAD in Europeans.
