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

backgroundWe recently reported that protection against coronary artery disease (CAD) mortality is the major contributor to longer life associated with FOXO3 genotype. The present study examined this relation in more detail.

methodsWe performed a 15-year observational study of 3,584 older American men of Japanese ancestry from the Kuakini Honolulu Heart Program cohort and 1,595 White and 1,067 Black elderly individuals from the Health Aging and Body Composition study.

resultsMultivariate Cox regression models demonstrated that carriage of the longevity-associated G allele of FOXO3 single nucleotide polymorphisms rs2802292 was a protective factor against CAD mortality in all three populations. In Japanese and Whites, but not in Blacks, the protective effect of the G allele was little changed in models adjusted for other major risk factors. Population-attributable risk (PAR) models found that the nonprotective TT genotype contributed 15%, 9%, and 3% to CAD mortality risk in Japanese, White, and Black Americans, respectively, and was one of the top three contributing factors to CAD mortality. In Japanese, this effect size was comparable with hypertension (15%), but in Whites and Blacks PAR for hypertension was higher (29% and 26%, respectively). G-allele carriers had lower plasma TNF-α than noncarriers, suggesting inflammation as a potential mediating factor for CAD mortality risk.

conclusionFOXO3 genotype is an important risk factor for CAD mortality in older populations. More research is needed to identify potential mechanisms and targets for intervention.
