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

Idiopathic Pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a debilitating disease associated with very poor prognosis. The disease is characterised by endothelial dysfunction, smooth muscle proliferation and insitu thrombosis in the pulmonary artery, eventually leading to right ventricular failure. Two of the key endothelial mediators implicated in the pathogenesis of IPAH are endothelin-1 (EDN1) and nitric oxide (NO). EDN1 is a potent endogenous vasoconstrictor whereas NO is a vasodilator. In the present study screening of the EDN1 gene (EDN1) and NOS3 polymorphisms was taken up, to evaluate their association with IPAH. A significant association of EDN1 3A/4A polymorphism (+138 A; rs10478694) (OR-3.485; CI-1.254, 9.999; p=0.013) and EDN1 Lys198Asn polymorphism (G/T, rs5370) (OR-3.378, CI-1.104, 10.582; p=0.03) with IPAH was observed. Our results indicate that EDN1 polymorphisms in interaction with other genetic markers may play a significant role in individual's susceptibility to the disease and its clinical progression.
