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

To evaluate the association between gene polymorphisms of TNF-α G308A, IL-6 C174G, and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) risk.We used computers to collect related case-control studies. After screening, a meta-analysis was conducted to assess the strength of association by Stata 12.0 software.Thirty-five articles were included. Among them, 17 studies were related to TNF-α (G308A) gene mutation and CHD, and 18 studies examined IL-6 (C174G) gene mutation. According to the results of subgroup analysis of ethnicity, it suggested that TNF-α (G308A) polymorphism was not significantly associated with CHD risk under all models in Asians (P > .05). There were no connected of IL-6 C174G polymorphism with CHD risk under all models in Caucasians after subgroup analysis (P > .05).The present evidence shows that TNF-α (G308A) have no connected with the risk of CHD in Asians; IL-6 (C174G) gene were not associated with the risk of CHD in Caucasians.
