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

backgroundReduced bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) and the T-786C polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene have been reported as risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) with conflicting results. We investigated the association of plasma NO levels, T-786C genetic polymorphism, and gene expression levels of eNOS with CAD risk in an Iranian subpopulation. MATERIALS AND

methodsStudied population included 100 patients with angiographically verified CAD and 100 ethnically matched controls. Analysis of T-786C genetic polymorphism and gene expression levels of eNOS was conducted by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) restriction fragment length polymorphism and real-time reverse transcription-PCR methods, respectively. Plasma levels of NO were measured using Griess method.

resultsThe CC genotype distribution (15% vs. 6%,

conclusionOur study indicated that reduced NO levels and eNOS T-786C genetic polymorphism are significant risk factors for the development and severity of CAD in the Iranian population.
