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

Activity of the renin-angiotensin Aldosterone system is increased in patients with heart failure (HF). The Angiotensinogen gene and specifically M235T polymorphism has been linked to susceptibility to hypertension, coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation. Its role in heart failure is not yet sufficiently demonstrated. The aim of the present study was to assess the association between rs699 (M235T) polymorphism and heart failure in terms of diagnosis and prognosis. We included all patients over 20 years old consulting in the Emergency Department for acute dyspnea. According to the results of the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP level), patients were divided into two groups: HF and non-HF group. DNA study was performed for all subjects and their genotypes were identified as TT, CT or CC. Mortality was followed for one year. We included 234 patients. We found the diagnosis of HF in 73 patients out of 160 (45%). Our results showed that the frequency of the T allele was higher in HF group patients than in non-HF group (69% vs. 33%, P<0.01). Patients carrying the TT and CT genotypes had a higher proportion of HF than those carrying the CC genotype (respectively 53% and 31% vs. 15%, P<0.01). According to multivariate analysis, TT genotype presented the highest risk of HF (OR=4.9 95% CI: 2.12-9.1) and the highest risk of death (OR=6.45 95% CI: 3.6-16.4) compared to the other two genotypes. The current study suggests that M235T polymorphism might be associated with increased risk of both HF and death.
