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

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) rs671 polymorphism is an established genetic risk of hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart diseases in Asian population. Previous experimental data showed ALDH2 regulated inflammation, a potential mechanism of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, clinically, the association between ALDH2 polymorphism and incidence of HFpEF remains unknown. In this prospective cross-sectional study, ALDH2 genotyping was performed in 613 consecutive patients enrolled with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including hypertension, coronary heart diseases, and/or diabetes mellitus, with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). HFpEF was diagnosed according to symptoms and/or signs of dyspnea, fatigue or ankle swelling, N-terminal pro-B-Type natriuretic peptide (NT pro-BNP ≥ 280 pg/mL), LVEF ≥ 50%, and at least one additional criterion: left atrial enlargement (left atrial diameter > 40 mm), diastolic dysfunction (E/E' ≥ 13 or E'/A' < 1) or concurrently with atrial fibrillation. Finally, of 613 patients with CVD, 379 patients (61.8%) were assigned to the wild-type ALDH2*1/*1 group and 234 patients (38.2%) to the mutation-type ALDH2*2 group according to genotyping results. Sixty-nine patients (11.3%) were diagnosed with HFpEF. In ALDH2*2 group, the occurrence of HFpEF was higher (15.4% vs. 8.7%, p = 0.011) than that in ALDH2*1/*1 group. Leukocyte count, the indicator of systemic inflammation, was significantly higher (6.9 ± 2.4 × 10
