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

The interleukin-6 (IL-6) C-572G gene polymorphism has been suggested to be associated with the increased coronary artery disease (CAD) risk, but the study results are still debatable. To explore the association between IL-6 C-572G gene polymorphism and CAD in the Asian population, the current meta-analysis involving 2511 subjects from 7 separate studies was conducted. The combined odds ratio (ORs) for the association between IL-6 C-572G gene polymorphism and CAD and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were assessed by random or fixed effect model. A significant association between IL-6 C-572G gene polymorphism and CAD was found in the Asian population under an allelic (OR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.30-1.71, P<0.00001), recessive (OR: 2.221, 95% CI: 1.444-3.417, P=1.0×10(-10)) dominant (OR: 1.313, 95% CI: 1.188-1.451, P=1.0×10(-10)), homozygous (OR: 2.454, 95% CI: 1.606-3.751, P=1.0×10(-10)), heterozygous (OR: 3.01, 95% CI:1.99-4.55, P<0.00001) and additive genetic models (OR: 1.372, 95% CI: 1.231-1.528, P=1.0×10(-10)). In the Asian population, the IL-6 C-572G gene polymorphism was indicated to be correlated with CAD susceptibility. The carriers of -572G allele might be predisposed to CAD risk.
