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

aimβ-actin (ACTB) participates in the vascular remodeling and contributes to the cardiovascular diseases. Herein, we investigated the associations of ACTB with hypertension and stroke.

methodsThree single-nucleotide polymorphisms in ACTB were selected for genotyping in 2,012 hypertension cases and 2,210 controls. The associations of ACTB with hypertension and stroke were examined in another follow-up study. Logistic and Cox regression were performed in a case-control study and a follow-up study, respectively. Additive scale interaction was examined by calculating the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion due to interaction (AP) and synergy index (SI). The multiplicative interaction hazard ratio was calculated by fitting the Cox regression model. ACTB mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was measured in ischemic stroke (IS) cases and in controls.

resultsThe associations of rs852426 with hypertension and stroke had statistical significance in drinkers but not after Bonferroni correction. An additive interaction of rs852426 and drinking was observed for stroke incidence, the adjusted RERI was -0.907 (p=4.108×10

conclusionsACTB rs852426 was significantly associated with alcohol consumption on stroke risk, and the expression of ACTB mRNA in IS who had a drinking habit was significantly down-regulated. This finding will provide a novel insight into the prevention of stroke.
