Association of endothelin-converting enzyme-1b C-338A polymorphism with increased risk of ischemic stroke in Chinese Han population.
Article in Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Endothelin-converting enzyme-1b (ECE-1b) C-338A is a polymorphism located in ECE-1 gene promoter, which has been reported to correlate with the risk of carotid atherosclerosis. We conducted a hospital-based case-control study of 309 patients with ischemic stroke and 309 controls matched on age and gender. The frequencies of ECE-1b-338 CC, CA, and AA genotypes in cases (45.0, 40.4, and 14.6 %) were significantly different from those of controls (53.1, 39.1, and 7.8 %, χ(2) = 8.519, P = 0.014), respectively. Compared with C carriers, A alleles showed correlation with a 42 % increased risk of ischemic stroke (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.42, 95 % CI = 1.11-1.81). After adjustment for potential risk factors, the AA genotype still kept positive correlation with ischemic stroke (OR = 1.78; 95 % CI = 1.06-3.54). In stratified analyses, the significant association of the A allele with ischemic stroke was observed in female subjects (adjusted OR = 1.64, 95 % CI = 1.17-2.89) and the subjects with age ≥ 64 years old (adjusted OR = 2.09, 95 % CI = 1.38-3.23). The present study suggested that the C-338A polymorphism of the ECE-1b gene was associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in the Chinese Han population.
