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

According to several epidemiological and clinical studies, the concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) in blood is associated with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, these studies are limited in high incidence and prevalence area of North-West India. The present case control study investigated the contribution of three relevant CRP single nucleotide polymorphisms: -717A>G located in the promoter region (rs2794521), +1059G>C on exon2 (rs1800947) and +1444C>T in the 3' UTR (rs1130864) in 180 angiographically verified CHD cases and 175 control subjects. Minor allele frequencies (G, C and T) of rs2794521, rs1800947 and rs1130864 are observed to be 21.1, 11.7, 29.4 and 11.4, 10.0, 19.7 % in CHD cases and controls respectively. AA genotype of -717A>G and TT genotype of +1444C>T were significantly associated (P = 0.02 & 0.03 respectively) with the risk of CHD whereas, +1059G and +1444T were found to be strongly related (P = 0.023 & P = 0.008 respectively) with multivariable adjusted CRP levels. AGT Haplotype was significantly associated with the adjusted CRP levels (P < 0.05). Disease association analysis revealed that haplotype AGT influences CHD risk (OR 2.4, 95 % CI 1.23-4.84, P = 0.006) which exacerbates after correcting the confounding effects of risk variables (OR 2.5, 95 % CI 1.27-4.99, P = 0.004). With the global index of Akaike information criterion, it has been observed that the carrying each single unit of this susceptibility haplotype increases CHD risk by a value of 2.41 ± 0.439 (β ± SE) in the recessive mode.
