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

STUDY

objectivesUntreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Adhesion molecules, including soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), are associated with incident CVD. We hypothesized that specific genetic variants will be associated with plasma levels of adhesion molecules in suspected OSA patients. We also hypothesized that there may be an interaction between these variants and OSA.

methodsWe measured levels of sE-selectin, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 in 491 patients with suspected OSA and genotyped them for 20 polymorphisms.

resultsThe most significant association was between the ABO rs579459 polymorphism and sE-selectin levels (P = 7×10-21), with the major allele T associated with higher levels. The direction of effect and proportion of the variance in sE-selectin levels accounted for by rs579459 (16%) was consistent with estimates from non-OSA cohorts. In a multivariate regression analysis, addition of rs579459 improved the model performance in predicting sE-selectin levels. Three polymorphisms were nominally associated with sICAM-1 levels but none with sVCAM-1 levels. The combination of severe OSA and two rs579459 T alleles identified a group of patients with high sE-selectin levels; however, the increase in sE-selectin levels associated with severe OSA was greater in patients without two T alleles (P = 0.05 test for interaction).

conclusionsThese genetic polymorphisms may help to identify patients at greatest risk of incident CVD and may help in developing a more precision-based approach to OSA care.
