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

backgroundLimited information is available when it comes to the impact of genetic on Calcific Aortic Stenosis (CAS). Apolipoprotein B (apoB) is a key component in lipid metabolism and plays an important role in the dynamic equilibrium of cholesterol. We performed a case-control study to explore the association of apoB genetic polymorphisms with CAS in Chinese subjects, in Xinjiang, China.

methodsWe designed a case-control study including 314 CAS patients and 652 age- and sex-matched control subjects. Using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length (PCR-RFLP) method, we genotyped two SNPs (rs6725189 and rs693) of apoB gene in all subjects.

resultsWe found that the rs693 T allele was associated with a significantly elevated CAS risk [TT/CT vs. CC: adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.58, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.82-2.10, P = 0.002] and the rs6725189 T allele was also associated with a significantly elevated CAS risk (GT vs. GG: AOR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.14-2.92, P = 0.013). Furthermore, we also found that the TC levels were significantly higher in rs693 TT/CT genotypes than that in CC genotypes (P < 0.05).

conclusionsBoth rs693 and rs6725189 of the apoB gene are associated with CAS in Chinese subjects, in Xinjiang, China.
