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.
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
VKORC1 genetic polymorphisms affect warfarin dose response, aortic calcification, and the susceptibility of coronary artery disease as shown in our previous study. Little is known regarding the association of VKORC1 polymorphisms with coronary artery calcification (CAC) and the role of CAC in the association with coronary artery disease (CAD). Due to a natural haplotype block in the VKORC1 gene in Chinese, polymorphism rs2359612 was analyzed in a case-control study and a prospective study. The case-control study included 464 CAD patients with non-calcified plaque (NCP), 562 CAD patients with mixed calcified plaque (MCP), 492 subjects with calcified plaque (CP), and 521 controls. The rs2359612C was only associated with increased risk of MCP, the CAD in the presence of CAC; the odds ratio was 1.397 (95 % CI 1.008-1.937, P < 0.05), which was replicated in the second independent population. On the contrary, a negative correlation was observed between rs2359612 and log-transformed Agatston score, and rs2359612 was negatively associated with the number of calcified vessels. Moreover, in a prospective study including 849 CAD patients undergoing revascularization, rs2359612C predicted a higher incidence of cardiovascular events in MCP subgroup; the relative risk was 1.435 (95 % CI 1.008-2.041, P = 0.045), which was not observed in the NCP subgroup. We conclude that the rs2359612C was associated with a higher risk of CAD in the presence of CAC and a higher incidence of cardiovascular events in CAD patients with CAC, but a lower coronary calcification. VKORC1 polymorphisms may be associated with the endophenotype of CAD, calcification-related atherosclerosis.
