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

Recently, genome-wide association studies have revealed a locus associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction, namely, 9p21.3. Its participation in the conditioning of the disease has been proven in many populations of European descent, but not yet in Slavs. Allelic variants of the rs10757278 polymorphism functionally affect the activity of the 9p21.3 locus; therefore, we conducted a study to determine whether the rs10757278 is associated with premature CAD in Polish patients. We studied 320 subjects aged 25-55 years, divided into two groups matched by sex and age: (1) patients with angiographically proven premature CAD (n=160), and (2) blood donors as a control group (n=160). The rs10757278 was genotyped using the method of fluorescently labeled allele-specific oligonucleotides. The frequency of the G allele was significantly higher in patients than in controls (58.2% vs. 42.8%, respectively, p=0.011) and was similar to the frequency of the GG homozygotes (30.6% vs. 17.5%, respectively, p=0.006). Both the GG homozygosity (odds ratio [OR]=2.08, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-3.66) as well as the G allele (OR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.08-2.07) have been associated with CAD in the analyzed population. These variants may be considered as risk factors, also in the Polish population.
