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

introductionRisk factor differences among offspring of patients with premature coronary heart disease (CHD) have not been widely studiem. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe examined 161 persons from the region of Banja Luka, including 81 children (mean age: 25.9 years, 45.7% female) with a history of CHD and a control group of 80 persons (mean age: 24.1, 50% female). Medical history interviews and risk factor measurements were performed.

resultsThere were differences in mean body amss index (BMI) (26.1 kg/m(2) vs. 23.1 kg/m(2), p < 0.0001), waist circumference (87.7 cm vs. 83.9 cm, p = 0.002), hip circumference (99.3 cm vs. 95.84 cm, p < 0.002), systolic blood pressure (BP) (128.09 mm Hg vs. 122.7 mm Hg, p = 0.007), and diastolic BP (99.3 mm Hg vs. 95.8 mm Hg, p = 0.07). Moreover, HDL-cholesterol was significantly lower (1.1 mmol/l vs. 1.4 mmol/l, p = 0.0001), triglycerides significantly higher (2.2 mmol/l vs. 1.6 mmol/l, p = 0.001), and TC/HDL-ratio was significantly higher (5.1 vs. 4.0, p < 0.001) comparing cases and controls, respectively, adjusted for age, gender, and standard CHD risk factors total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, smoking, systolic and diastolic BP, and BMI, those with HDL-C > 1.0 mmol/l in men and 1.2 mmol/l in women had a reduced odds (OR = 0.08, 95% CI: 0.02-0.34 of CHD as well as those with change of fat type (OR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.11-0.60).

conclusionsChildren of parents with premature CHD have a significantly greater burden of CHD risk factors, with low HDL-C, in particular, being associated with an increased likelihood of being a child of a parent with premature CHD.
