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 CYP7A1 gene polymorphism has been reported to be associated with gallbladder stone disease (GSD) and serum lipid levels, but the results were inconsistent. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the influence of the -204A>C polymorphism in the promoter of CYP7A1 gene on the GSD and serum lipid levels.

methodsAccording to inclusion/exclusion criteria, eligible studies on CYP7A1 gene -204A>C polymorphism of serum lipid levels and the risk of GSD were retrieved. Depending on the between-study heterogeneity, the fixed- or random-effects model was applied, and the data were analyzed using the RevMan software (V5.2).

resultsFive studies totaling 830 GSD patients and 882 healthy controls were used to evaluate the relation of CYP7A1 -204A>C polymorphism with GSD. Overall comparison of alleles A with C in all study population yielded 5% but non-significant increased risk of GSD (OR=1.05, 95% CI: 0.91 - 1.22, P=0.48). Subgroup analysis by ethnic differences did not show any association between CYP7A1 -204A>C polymorphism and GSD either. Four studies totaling 802 cases and 691 controls were used to assess the relation of CYP7A1 -204A>C polymorphism with serum lipid levels. All the subjects were from the Asian population. The pooled effects indicated that AC genotype had higher levels of TG than AA (MD=-0.42, 95% CI: -0.76 - -0.08, P=0.01). CC genotype in cases had higher levels of TC (MD=0.65, 95% CI: 0.25 - 1.05, P=0.001) and LDL-C (MD=0.40, 95% CI: 0.06 - 0.73, P=0.02) than AA, AA (MD = -0.35, 95% CI: -0.60 - -0.10, P=0.007) and AC (MD=-0.35, 95% CI: -0.61 - -0.08, P=0.01) genotypes in controls had higher levels of TC than CC, and AA genotype in controls had higher levels of HDL-C than CC (MD = -0.15, 95% CI: -0.21 - -0.09, P<0.00001).

conclusionsThe CYP7A1 -204A>C polymorphism is significantly associated with serum lipid levels in Asian population, but not gallbladder stone disease.
