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

backgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), rapidly increasing to epidemic proportions, globally escalates cardiovascular disease risk. Although intensive interventions and comprehensive management of environmental risks factors for T2D are associated with reduced cardiovascular disease, such approaches are limited for individuals with high genetic T2D risk. In this study we investigated possible associations of ACE2 polymorphisms and cardiovascular risks in Uygur patients with T2D.

methods275 Uygur T2D patients and 272 non-diabetic Uygur individuals were enrolled as study participants. 14 ACE2 polymorphisms were genotyped by Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

resultsACE2 SNP rs1978124, rs2048683, rs2074192, rs233575, rs4240157, rs4646156, rs4646188 and rs879922 were associated with T2D (all P < 0.05). The 8 diabetic risk related ACE2 SNPs were further associated with diabetic related cardiovascular complications or events but exhibited heterogeneity as fellows: firstly, almost all diabetic risk related ACE2 SNPs (all P < 0.05) were associated with increased SBP except rs1978124 and rs2074192, while rs2074192, rs4646188 and rs879922 were associated elevated DBP (all P < 0.05). Secondly, SNP rs4646188 was not correlated with any type of dyslipidemia (TRIG, HDL-C, LDL-C or CHOL), and the other 7 diabetic risk related loci were at least correlated with one type of dyslipidemia (all P < 0.05). In particular, rs879922 were simultaneously correlated with four type of dyslipidemia (all P < 0.05). Thirdly, ACE2 SNP rs2074192 and rs879922 were associated with carotid arteriosclerosis stenosis (CAS) ≥ 50% (both P < 0.05). Fourthly, ACE2 SNP rs2074192, rs4240157, rs4646188 and 879922 were associated with increased MAU (all P < 0.05). In addition, ACE2 SNP rs2048683, rs4240157, rs4646156, rs4646188 and rs879922 were linked to heavier LVMI (all P < 0.05), but only rs4240157, rs4646156 and rs4646188 were associated with lower LVEF (all P < 0.05).

conclusionACE2 SNP rs879922 may be a common genetic loci and optimal genetic susceptibility marker for T2D and T2D related cardiovascular risks in Uygurs.
