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

introductionIt has been reported that APOA1 -75G/A polymorphism might be associated with susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD). Owing to mixed and inconclusive results, we conducted a meta-analysis to systematically summarize and clarify the association between APOA1-75G/A polymorphism and the risk of CAD. MATERIAL AND

methodsA systematic search of studies on the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with susceptibility to CAD was conducted. A total of 9 case-control studies (1864 cases and 1196 controls) on the APOA1-75G/A polymorphism were included.

resultsWe observed no statistically significant association between APOA1 -75G/A polymorphism and risk of CAD under the dominant genetic model (AA + AG vs. GG: OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 0.65-1.66), allelic contrast (A vs. G: OR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.58-1.32), heterozygote model (AG vs. GG: OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 0.81-1.89) or homozygote model (AA vs. GG: OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.26-1.05). Significant heterogeneity between individual studies appears in all five models, but a strong association under the recessive genetic model (AA vs. AG + GG: OR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.28-0.92). In the subgroup analysis by Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE; the presence or absence of HWE in controls), significantly decreased CAD risk and no significant heterogeneity were observed among controls consistent with HWE. Overall, the APOA1 A allele is one of the protective factors of CAD. A stronger association between APOA1-75G/A polymorphisms and CAD risk was present in the studies consistent with HWE.

conclusionsThe minor allele of the APOA1-75G/A polymorphism is a protective factor for CAD, especially in the studies consistent with HWE.
