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

aimsInflammatory markers play an important role in the development of diseases related to metabolic syndrome, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD). The present study evaluates the association of -2518A>G polymorphism in the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) gene with T2D and CAD.

resultsThe frequency of the G allele is greater in CAD cases (35%) as compared to T2D (24.6%) and controls (31%), while the frequency of the A allele is higher in T2D cases (75.4%) as compared to CAD cases (65%) and controls (69%). The analysis has revealed that in comparison to T2D cases, the G allele increases the risk of CAD by 1.9-fold (p=0.008; odds ratio [OR]=1.9, 1.18-3.06 at 95% confidence interval [CI]) but in comparison to controls the G-allele provided protection against T2D (p=0.011; OR=0.55, 0.35-0.87 at 95% CI), both under the dominant model (AG+GG vs. AA).

conclusionResults of the present study suggests that G-allele of MCP-1 -2518A>G polymorphism is associated with reduced risk of T2D and increased risk of CAD in the population of Punjab. The results indicate that there is a difference in the association of risk alleles with phenotypes of metabolic syndrome. Body mass index and waist circumference are important risk factors for T2D in the population of Punjab.
