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

Inflammation plays important roles in the development of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a proinflammatory cytokine and induces proliferation of T cells. The aim of the study was to understand the effect of IL-2 on the development of CAD from genetic polymorphism perspective and serum level perspective. IL-2 -330T/G and +114T/G polymorphisms were tested in 692 CAD cases and 723 healthy controls. IL-2 expression of these two polymorphisms was compared. Serum level of IL-2 in CAD patients and controls was analyzed. Data showed that prevalence of IL-2 -330GG genotype was significantly increased in CAD than in controls (p = 5.1 × 10(-6)). Function analysis revealed that subjects carrying IL-2 -330GG genotype had higher serum level of IL-2 than those with TG or TT genotypes (p < 0.01). Serum level of IL-2 in the study subjects was further analyzed, and results showed that CAD patients had significantly increased IL-2 level than healthy controls (p < 0.01). Also, cases with three vessels affected were observed to have higher IL-2 level than cases with one vessel affected (p < 0.05). These data suggested IL-2 polymorphism could affect the susceptibility to CAD by elevating protein expression, and serum level of IL-2 may be closed correlated with the development and progression of this disease.
