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

backgroundThe complications of atherosclerosis such as coronary and cerebrovascular disease, are the most prevalent causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1883832 (-1C/T) in CD40 gene has been recently suggested to contribute to the susceptibility to atherosclerosis in Chinese population; however, previous genetic association studies yielded inconsistent results.

methodsA meta-analysis of eligible studies reporting the association between rs1883832 and atherosclerosis in Chinese population was carried out.

resultsPooling 7 eligible case-control studies involving 2129 patients and 1895 controls demonstrated a significant association between rs1883832 and atherosclerosis under dominant model [odds ratio (OR) = 1.631, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.176, 2.260] in Chinese population with evident heterogeneity. Meta-regression analysis indicated that the heterogeneity could be completely explained by disease category. In subgroup analysis, rs1883832 conferred ORs of 2.866 (C/C versus T/T, 95%CI [2.203, 3.729]) and 1.680 (C/T versus T/T, 95%CI [1.352, 2.086]) for coronary artery disease (CAD) under co-dominant model without heterogeneity. Similar results were obtained for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (C/C versus T/T, 3.674, 95%CI [2.638, 5.116]; C/T versus T/T, 1.981, 95%CI [1.483, 2.646]). The other genetic models including dominant, recessive and additive models, yielded consistent results without heterogeneity for CAD and ACS, respectively. However, a protective role was found for C allele in ischemic stroke (IS) under recessive model (0.582, 95%CI [0.393, 0.864]) and additive model (0.785, 95%CI [0.679, 0.909]) with reduced heterogeneity.

conclusionsThis meta-analysis provided evidence of association of rs1883832 C allele with an overall increased risk of atherosclerosis but distinct effect of C allele on CAD (including ACS) and IS in Chinese population, respectively.
