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

The nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NFE2L2 or NRF2) gene regulates transcription of enzymes involved in cellular detoxification and lipids homeostasis. NFE2L2 is associated with pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Therefore we studied the relation between NFE2L2 and all-cause, cardiovascular, and COPD mortality and its associations with triglyceride and cholesterol levels. We genotyped five tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs4243387, rs2364723, rs13001694, rs1806649, and rs6726395) in NFE2L2 in 1,390 subjects from the Vlagtwedde-Vlaardingen cohort. Participants were examined in 1989/1990 and followed up till the vital status evaluation on December 31st, 2008. Associations between SNPs and mortality were estimated by Cox proportional hazards regression, and associations between SNPs and triglyceride and cholesterol levels were tested with linear regression. After 18 yr, 284 (20.4%) subjects had died, 107 from cardiovascular disease and 20 from COPD. Minor allele carriers of rs13001694 had a significantly reduced risk of all-cause mortality compared with wild types: hazard ratio (HR) 0.8 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.6 to 1.0]. Minor allele carriers of rs2364723 had significantly reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality: HR = 0.5 (95% CI: 0.3-0.7). This result was consistent in stratified analyses: females 0.4 (0.2-0.7), males 0.6 (0.3-0.9), never smokers 0.5 (0.2-1.1), ever smokers 0.5 (0.3-0.8). Minor allele carriers of rs1806649 had a markedly reduced COPD mortality: HR = 0.3 (95% CI: 0.1-0.9). Rs2364723 was associated with lower triglyceride levels. None of the SNPs was associated with cholesterol levels. This study shows for the first time that NFE2L2 is associated with reduced risk of all-cause, cardiovascular and COPD mortality in humans.
