Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T and methionine synthase A2756G gene polymorphisms and associated risk of cardiovascular diseases: A study from Jammu region.
Article in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
aimPotent risk factors at both genetic and non-genetic levels are accountable for susceptibility and instigation of different cardiovascular phenotypes. Recently, homocysteine is being identified as an important predictor for cardiovascular diseases. Homocysteine remethylation plays a key role in the synthesis of methionine and S-adenosine methionine. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase (MTR) genes are known to regulate the homocysteine remethylation reaction and higher homocysteine level is significantly associated with diverse cardiovascular phenotypes. In this context, we aimed to carry out a study on the association of MTHFR (C677T) and MTR (A2756G) gene polymorphism with CVD in population of Jammu region of J&K state. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 435 individuals were enrolled (195 CVD patients and 240 controls) for the case-control study. Genotyping of MTHFR C677T and MTR A2756G gene polymorphism was done by PCR-RFLP technique. Biochemical parameters were estimated by biochemical analyser.
resultsMetabolic variables such as serum LDL-C, TC and TG were significantly higher in patients (p<0.0001), whereas serum HDL-C was higher in controls. Majority of the patients were having history of hypertension (57.44%; p<0.0001) as a concomitant condition. The evaluation of genetic association showed that, MTHFR C6877T (OR: 8.89, 95% CI: 2.01-39.40) and MTR A2756G (OR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.09-2.00) polymorphisms associated with higher risk of CVD.
conclusionThe present study reveals significant differences in nongenetic variables among patients and control as well as association of gene polymorphisms with CVD risk.
