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

backgroundNumerous studies have evaluated the association between the angiotensinogen (AGT) T174M polymorphism and ischemic stroke(IS) risk. However, the specific association is still controversial. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn order to explore this association more deeply, we performed a meta-analysis. All of the relevant studies were identified from PubMed, Embase, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure database up to October 2014. Statistical analyses were conducted with STATA 12.0 software. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) values were applied to evaluate the strength of the association.

resultsSix studies with 1290 cases and 1125 controls were included. No significant variation in IS risk was detected in any of the genetic models in the overall (MM vs. TT: OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 0.51-5.28; MT vs. TT: OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.66-1.31; dominant model: OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.69-1.72; recessive model: OR = 0.61,95% CI = 0.20-1.91). Taking into account the effect of ethnicity, further stratified analyses were performed. The results showed that AGT gene T174M polymorphism might be associated with IS risk in Asians (MM vs. TT: OR = 3.28, 95% CI = 1.79-6.02; recessive model: OR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.17-0.57).

conclusionIn conclusion, the AGT T174M polymorphism may be a susceptible predictor of the risk of IS in Asians. Further, large and well-designed studies are needed to confirm this conclusion.
