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

G20210A polymorphism (rs1799963) within the prothrombin gene is associated with a higher circulation level of prothrombin, thus increasing the likelihood of developing myocardial infarction (MI). Opinions differ regarding the correlation between prothrombin G20210A genotype and MI risk, which prompted us to conduct a meta-analysis to determine this association. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and CNKI were searched for pertinent reports. A total of 34 studies involving 14 611 MI cases and 84 358 controls were analyzed in this quantitative analysis. We found a statistically significant association between prothrombin G20210A polymorphism and MI in the allele model (A vs. G, OR = 1.43, 95%CI: 1.18-1.72), heterozygote model (GA vs. GG, OR = 1.41, 95%CI: 1.16-1.72) and dominant model (GA + AA vs. GG, OR = 1.41, 95%CI: 1.15-1.72). The association remains significant in Caucasians but not in non-Caucasians. Moreover, prothrombin G20210A polymorphism increases MI risk in an age-related manner. A further significant association was found in a subpopulation younger than 55 years (allele model, OR = 1.76, 95%CI: 1.32-2.35; heterozygote model, OR = 1.70, 95%CI: 1.24-2.33; dominant model, OR = 1.70, 95%CI: 1.24-2.34). Sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis revealed stable and statistically robust results. Our meta-analysis demonstrated that prothrombin G20210A polymorphism may represent a risk factor for MI.
