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

BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia affected by multiple cardiovascular risk factors. It is reported that caveolin-1 gene (CAV1) rs3807989 polymorphism might be associated with AF risk. The goal of this meta-analysis was to confirm the association between CAV1 rs3807989 polymorphism and susceptibility to AF. MATERIAL AND METHODS We carried out a comprehensive literature search through the electronic databases PubMed, MEDLIN, and Web of Science. We performed a meta-analysis of all selected studies based on CAV1 rs3807989 polymorphism genotypes, including 3758 cases and 6126 controls. RESULTS After meta-analysis with fixed- or random-effects models, we found significant associations in all 5 comparisons: allelic model (G/A; OR=1.228, 95%CI: 1.061-1.420; P=0.006), homozygote model (GG/AA; OR=1.439, 95%CI: 1.094-1.894; P=0.009), heterozygote model (GG/GA; OR=1.257, 95%CI: 1.064-1.486; P=0.007), dominant model (GG/AA+GA; OR=1.287, 95%CI: 1.076-1.540; P=0.006), and recessive model (AA/GA+GG; OR=0.738, 95%CI: 0.629-0.867; P<0.001). Sensitivity analysis results revealed the overall results were robust. CONCLUSIONS The results revealed a significant association between CAV1 gene rs3807989 polymorphism and susceptibility to AF, suggesting that the presence of allelic G might be one of the genetic factors conferring susceptibility to AF. To confirm this association, further well-designed studies are necessary.
