Flotillin-2 Gene Is Associated with Coronary Artery Disease in Chinese Han Population.
Trial report in Genetic testing and molecular biomarkers, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundFlotillin-2, an important protein of vesicular endocytosis, is commonly used as a marker protein for lipid microdomains. It plays an essential role in cellular cholesterol uptake and biliary cholesterol reabsorption. Excessive cholesterol intake could cause dyslipidemia, which is a major risk factor of coronary artery disease (CAD).
aimsTo investigate the association between the human flotillin-2 gene polymorphism and CAD in the Chinese Han population. MATERIALS AND
methodsThree single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs10205, rs3816848 and rs8081659) of the flotillin-2 gene were genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction in 307 CAD patients and 441 control subjects.
resultsThe genotypic distribution of these three SNPs was significantly different between CAD patients and control subjects (all p < 0.05). There were significant differences in the plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC) among different genotypes in the CAD group and control group. For rs3816848, CAD patients with the GG genotype had a higher level of TC than those with an AG or AA genotype (p < 0.001). For rs8081659, CAD patients with TT genotype had a higher level of TC than those with a CT or CC genotype (p < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the GG genotype of rs3816848 was an independent risk factor for CAD (odds ratio [OR] = 1.786; 95% CI = 1.099-2.902; p = 0.019).
conclusionThere was a strong association between polymorphisms of flotillin-2 gene and CAD in the Chinese Han population. Persons with the GG genotype of rs3816848 may have a higher risk of CAD. Moreover, the plasma levels of TC were significantly different among the different genotypes of the rs3816848 and rs8081659 SNPs in the CAD group as well as the control group.
