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

backgroundThe relation has not been reported consistently between the PON1 Q192R polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD). To clarify the discrepancy, we performed the present meta-analysis to evaluate the association between the PON1 gene Q192R polymorphism and CHD risk in Chinese population.

methodsWe conducted a comprehensive search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases for all available case-control studies. Two reviewers independently selected studies. Data were analyzed by STATA software package v 12.0.

resultsThirteen studies investigating the association between the PON1 Q192R polymorphism and risk of CHD were selected in this meta-analysis with 4353 cases and 4882 controls. The association between the PON1 Q192R polymorphism and CHD is statistically significant under the recessive genetic model (R/R vs Q/R + Q/Q, odds ratio [OR] = 1.111, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.017-1.214). We observed no statistical association between PON1 Q192R polymorphism and risk of CHD under allele model (R vs Q, OR = 1.087, 95% CI = 0.976-1.209), homozygous model (RR vs QQ, OR = 1.192, 95% CI = 0.949-1.496), and dominant genetic model (Q/R + R/R vs Q/Q, OR = 1.127, 95% CI = 0.938-1.354).

conclusionThis meta-analysis suggests that the PON1 Q192R polymorphism has a weak association with CHD risk in Chinese.
