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

Nitric Oxide (NO) is an important molecule carrying number of different functions in humans. Published studies suggest that it may inhibit several key steps involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Inhibition or reduction of NO due to Glu298Asp polymorphism may accelerate atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to determine whether Glu298Asp polymorphism is implicated in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) among North Indian population from the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. We selected 253 CAD patients and 174 healthy, normotensive, non-diabetic controls, which were matched for gender and ethnicity. The Glu298Asp (rs1799983) variant was detected by genotyping subjects, using a polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism. There was no significant difference found in the genotypic and allelic frequencies between patients and controls. Our study indicated that Glu298Asp polymorphism does not play any critical role in the pathogenesis of CAD, at least in North Indian population.
