Association between the EPHX2 p.Lys55Arg polymorphism and prognosis following an acute coronary syndrome.
Article in Prostaglandins & other lipid mediators, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH, EPHX2) elicits potent cardiovascular protective effects in preclinical models of ischemic cardiovascular disease (CVD), and genetic polymorphisms in EPHX2 have been associated with developing ischemic CVD in humans. However, it remains unknown whether EPHX2 variants are associated with prognosis following an ischemic CVD event. We evaluated the association between EPHX2 p.Lys55Arg and p.Arg287Gln genotype with survival in 667 acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. No association with p.Arg287Gln genotype was observed (P = 0.598). Caucasian EPHX2 Arg55 carriers (Lys/Arg or Arg/Arg) had a significantly higher risk of 5-year mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-2.55, P = 0.045). In an independent population of 2712 ACS patients, this association was not replicated (adjusted HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.70-1.21, P = 0.559). In a secondary analysis, Caucasian homozygous Arg55 allele carriers (Arg/Arg) appeared to exhibit a higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (adjusted HR 2.60, 95% CI 1.09-6.17). These results demonstrate that EPHX2 p.Lys55Arg and p.Arg287Gln polymorphisms do not significantly modify survival after an ACS event. Investigation of other sEH metabolism biomarkers in ischemic CVD appears warranted.
