Serum Alanine Aminotransferase Level as a Risk Factor for Coronary Heart Disease Prediction in Koreans: Analysis of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (V-1, 2010 and V-2, 2011).
Article in Korean journal of family medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe blood level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is associated with increased coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. However, its use as an independent factor for CHD risk prediction remains unclear in Asian populations. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between serum ALT levels and CHD risk in Koreans.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (V-1, 2010 and V-2, 2011). The ALT levels of 3,215 individuals were analyzed. The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) modified by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) was used to compute the 10-year CHD risk prediction.
resultsPositive correlations were established between log-transformed ALT concentration and FRS (r=0.433, P<0.001). After adjusting for body mass index, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, the amount of alcohol intake, and gamma-glutamyl transferase, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for intermediate or greater risk of 10- year CHD prediction (10-year risk ≥10%) for the lowest quartile of participants was 2.242 (1.405-3.577) for the second quartile, 2.879 (1.772-4.679) for the third quartile, and 3.041 (1.789-5.170) for the highest quartile.
conclusionIn Koreans, a higher serum ALT concentration was significantly correlated with 10-year CHD risk prediction according to NCEP ATP III guidelines.
