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

backgroundWe studied the association between erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase1 (GPx1) activity and rs1050450 (Pro198Leu) site with the stenosis of coronary arteries and, evaluated the Pro/Leu position within the predicted tertiary structure.

methodsSubjects were recruited from who underwent coronary angiography (controls; n = 55, Stenosis < 5% and Patients; n = 95, Stenosis ≥ 50%). The GPx1 activity and rs1050450 C/T variants were determined using enzyme assay and RFLP-PCR techniques, respectively. The conserved regions and GPx1 tertiary structure were predicted using bioinformatics tools.

resultsWe did not find significant association between GPx1 activity (P = 0.96), rs1050450 genotype distribution and coronary artery disease (adjusted OR = 0.79; 95%CI 0.28-2.2, P = 0.6). The polymorphic variants were not located at the predicted structural and functional domains so that it had not the significant role on the GPx1stability and function.

conclusionsIn agreement with the results predicted from bioinformatics tools, we suggested that the GPx1 activity and rs1050450 (Pro198Leu) site are not involved in the development of stenosis of coronary arteries in the study population.
