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

Low serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) have been shown to be a risk factor for coronary artery disease independent of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in different populations. In this study, we investigated genetic variants through genome-wide association studies to determine their association with HDL-C levels in a sample of 2,700 patients. We identified several SNPs associated with HDL-C levels in the Lebanese population using unadjusted and adjusted by biological factors models. We replicated the association of rs3764261 within CETP with HDL-C levels in the study population, and found other previously unidentified SNPs to be significant at the suggestive level, in both previously identified and unidentified genes. This paper reports the first genome-wide analysis of HDL-C in the Lebanese, Middle Eastern, population and supports the importance of genome-wide association studies across different and minor ethnicities to understand better the etiology of complex human diseases.
