Association of APOE Gene Polymorphisms with Cerebral Infarction in the Chinese Population.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUND Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a multifunctional protein that plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolism. However, the relationship between APOE gene polymorphisms and cerebral infarction in the Chinese population remains unclear. Therefore, we studied the role of APOE gene polymorphisms in patients with cerebral infarction in a Chinese population. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study involved 906 patients with cerebral infarction and 1,141 individuals without cerebral infarction who served as controls. APOE genotypes were identified in all participants who participated in the study. Factors influencing cerebral infarction were also analyzed. RESULTS Statistically significant variances in the distribution and frequencies of the APOE genotypes in the patients were observed (ε2/ε3 versus ε2/ε4 versus ε3/ε3=22.85% versus 7.62% versus 56.95%) and controls (ε2/ε3 versus ε2/ε4 versus ε3/ε3=17.27% versus 2.72% versus 66.87%; p<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that the APOE ε3/ε3 genotype [OR, 0.393 (95% CI, 0.237-0.653); p<0.001] and ε3/ε4 genotype [OR, 0.376 (95% CI 0.221-0.637); p<0.001] played a protective role against cerebral infarction in Chinese men. CONCLUSIONS Statistically significant variances in the distribution and frequencies of the APOE genotypes of the patients and controls were observed. The study demonstrated that the APOE ε3/ε3 and ε3/ε4 genotypes played a protective role against cerebral infarction in Chinese men, but not women. Additionally, the ε2/ε4 genotype may be a potential risk factor in men, whereas ε3/ε4 genotype may play a potential protective role against this disease in women.
