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

backgroundMyocardial infarction (MI) is the major cause of death by disease in the world. Many studies have identified the associations between matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) C-1562T polymorphisms and MI. However, the results remain inconclusive. To clarify the role of MMP9 C-1562T polymorphism in MI risk, we conducted a systematic review and large-scale meta-analysis.

methodsStudies published between January 2005 and March 2014 were obtained from the electronic databases PubMed, Medline, and Embase. The odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were calculated for comparisons of the alleles and genotypes in the overall population and in ethnicity subgroups to measure the strength of genetic associations.

resultsA total of 7 related studies, including 3952 MI cases and 4977 healthy control subjects were included in our meta-analysis. Our results show a statistically significant association between T allele and MI in the overall population (OR = 1.23; 95% CI, 1.02-1.48; P = 0.03). The risk of MI was also significantly higher in patients carrying the T allele (TC + TT genotypes) than in those with the CC genotype (P < 0.05). In stratified analysis by ethnicity, we found the T allele was strongly associated with MI in white populations, whereas in Asian populations there appeared no significant association.

conclusionsOur data show that the MMP9 C-1562T polymorphism is a risk factor associated with increased MI susceptibility in the total population and white populations, although no significant association was observed in Asians populations. Further studies with larger sample sizes and assessing gene-gene and gene-environment interactions are required.
