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

Polymorphism (rs3918242) in the MMP9 gene has been reported to be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aims to investigate a more accurate estimation of the relationship between CAD and rs3918242 polymorphism by a meta-analysis method. We systematically searched studies on the association of rs3918242 polymorphism and CAD in PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Wanfang Data and CNKI. We used Stata 12.0 and RevMan 5.3 software to perform the meta-analyses. A total of 37 case-control studies involving 13,035 CAD patients and 11,372 non-CAD controls were included. A statistically significant association between rs3918242 polymorphism and CAD was observed in allelic model (Odds ratio (OR) 1.34; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.20-1.50;
