NADH dehydrogenase subunit-2 237 Leu/Met polymorphism modifies effects of cigarette smoking on risk of elevated levels of serum liver enzyme in male Japanese health check-up examinees: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundNADH dehydrogenase subunit-2 237 leucine/methionine (ND2-237 Leu/Met) polymorphism reportedly influences the effects of cigarette smoking on respiratory function, risk of dyslipidemia, serum non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, hematological parameters and intraocular pressure. The objective of this study was to investigate whether ND2-237 Leu/Met polymorphism modifies the effects of cigarette smoking on serum liver enzyme levels in male Japanese health check-up examinees.
methodsA total of 421 male subjects (mean age ± SD, 54.1 ± 7.7 years) were selected from among individuals visiting the hospital for regular medical check-ups. After ND2-237 Leu/Met genotyping, a cross-sectional study assessing the combined effects of ND2-237 Leu/Met polymorphism and cigarette smoking on serum aspartate aminotransferase levels, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels was then conducted.
resultsNo statistically significant differences in serum liver enzyme levels among the three smoking status groups (never- or ex-smokers, 1-20 cigarettes smoked per day and >20 cigarettes smoked per day) by ND2-237 Leu/Met genotype were observed. However, for men with ND2-237Met, cigarette smoking significantly increased the risk of elevated levels of serum ALT (>30 U/L) or serum GGT (≥60 U/L or >51 U/L) (P for trend = 0.031, P for trend = 0.007 and P for trend = 0.004, respectively). After adjustment for age, body mass index, alcohol consumption, coffee consumption, antihypertensive treatment and antidiabetic treatment, a significant association between cigarette smoking and risk of elevated levels of serum ALT (>30 U/L) or serum GGT (≥60 U/L or >51 U/L) was also observed (P for trend = 0.032, P for trend = 0.019 and P for trend = 0.009, respectively). Surprisingly, for men with ND2-237Leu, cigarette smoking significantly decreased the risk of elevated levels of serum ALT (>30 U/L or ≥25 U/L) (P for trend = 0.026 and P for trend = 0.003, respectively).
conclusionsCigarette smoking appears to increase the risk of elevated levels of serum ALT or serum GGT in ND2-237Met genotypic men, but to decrease the risk of elevated levels of serum ALT in ND2-237Leu genotypic men.
