Circulating ceruloplasmin, ceruloplasmin-associated genes, and the incidence of atrial fibrillation in the atherosclerosis risk in communities study.
Article in International journal of cardiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundCeruloplasmin (CP) may promote structural changes in the atrium making it more arrhythmogenic. We assessed the associations between CP, CP-associated genetic variants, and incident atrial fibrillation (AF) in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. METHODS AND
resultsWe studied 10,059 men and women without prevalent AF aged 53 to 75years in 1996-1998 and followed through 2012. Circulating CP was measured in stored blood samples obtained in 1996-1998. Polymorphisms rs11708215 and rs13072552, previously associated with CP concentrations, were measured in 10,059 and 8829 participants respectively. AF was ascertained from study electrocardiograms, hospital discharge codes, and death certificates. Multivariable Cox models were run to study the association between circulating CP, CP-associated polymorphisms, and the incidence of AF. Over 10.5years of mean follow-up, 1357 cases of AF were identified. After adjusting for traditional risk factors and biomarkers, higher levels of circulating CP were associated with incident AF (hazard ratio [HR] 1.33, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11, 1.61 comparing top to bottom quartiles). Both rs11708215 and rs13072552 were significantly associated with CP levels. Presence of the CP-increasing alleles in rs11708215 and rs13072552, however, were significantly associated with lower risk of AF in whites (HR 0.84, 95%CI 0.76, 0.94, p=0.002 and HR 0.83; 95%CI 0.69, 0.99, p=0.043 respectively per CP-increasing allele in the final adjusted model) but not in African Americans.
conclusionsEven though higher CP concentrations were associated with increased AF risk, genetic variants associated with higher CP decreased the risk of AF in whites. Our results suggest that circulating CP levels may not be causally related to risk of incident AF.
