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

The aim of the current study was to evaluate a possible association between apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genetic polymorphisms and deep venous thrombosis. A case-control study of ApoE genetic polymorphisms was carried out in 60 male and female patients with deep venous thrombosis and 60 male and female controls. The ages of the patients ranged between 23 and 90 years old (mean ± standard deviation: 58 ± 16.56 years) and the ages of the control group, varied between 21 and 56 years old (mean ± SD: 33 ± 10.93 years). Genetic polymorphisms were analyzed in respect to the prevalence of alleles (APOE*2, APOE*3 and APOE*4) and genotypes (APOE*2/2, APOE*2/3, APOE*2/4, APOE*3/3, APOE*3/4 and APOE*4/4). The ε2 allele was more common in patients who had suffered thrombotic events (P = 0.0034). Additionally, there was a significant difference on comparing the distribution of alleles in female patients and female controls (P = 0.027). These results demonstrate an association between the ApoE ε2 allele and deep venous thrombotic events in women. This association opens the possibility of a new line of research to better understand these thrombotic events.
