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

aimInflammation is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). A common deletion-allele in the promoter region of NFKB1 results in lower protein levels of the NF-κB p50 subunit. Recent evidence suggests that the NF-κB p50 dimer has anti-inflammatory effects. We aimed to investigate the association of the functional ATTG NFKB1 insertion/deletion variant with risk of CHD in three independent prospective studies of generally healthy men and women. METHODS AND

resultsThe NFKB1 ins/del polymorphism was genotyped in studies of CHD nested within the Diet, Cancer and Health (DCH) study, the Health Professionals Follow-up (HPFS) and the Nurses' Health (NHS) studies, totaling 1008, 428 and 439 cases, respectively. The minor allele frequency in the combined sample was 0.38 among controls. In a pooled analysis, the relative risk (RR) among heterozygous men and women was 1.22 (95% CI: 1.07-1.40), compared to the most common ins/ins genotype. The RR among homozygotes was 1.20 (95% CI: 0.94-1.53). There was no evidence of an allele-dosage effect, and in a dominant model the RR among del-allele carriers was 1.22 (95% CI: 1.07-1.39). The risk was similar in women and men (RR was 1.20 in women and 1.23 in men, respectively). The NFKB1 variant was not associated with plasma lipid levels, but del-carriers had lower levels of C-reactive protein.

conclusionsThe NFKB1 promoter variant, previously shown to cause partial depletion of NF-κB p50, was associated with a higher risk of CHD in three independent prospective studies of generally healthy Caucasians.
