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

backgroundTo evaluate the association between apolipoprotein B gene polymorphism and coronary heart disease in some populations at home and abroad by means of meta-analysis.

methodsUsing the strict exclusion criteria for primary screening of the literature and applying the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to test the genetic balance of the selected literature. The corresponding models were selected according to the results of the heterogeneity test. The Begg's test and Egger's test were used to evaluate publication bias, and meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0.

resultsThe study included twelve articles. In the literature, a total of 1596 patients with coronary heart disease and 1431 controls.Meta-analysis results showed no statistical value in the following three genetic models: allelic comparison (a vs A,P = 0.811,OR = 0.95, 95%CI = 0.62-1.46), recessive genetic models (aa vs Aa/AA, P = 0.86,OR = 0.94, 95%CI = 0.45-1.96), or dominant genetic models (aa/Aa vs AA, P = 0.73,OR = 0.92, 95%CI = 0.58-1.47). Subgroup analysis based on ethnicity showed allelic comparison (a vs A,P = 0.464,OR = 1.32, 95%CI = 0.63-2.78), recessive genetic models (aa vs Aa/AA, P = 0.422,OR = 1.52, 95%CI = 0.55-4.21), and dominant genetic models (aa/Aa vs AA, P = 0.551,OR = 1.26, 95%CI = 0.58-2.73) in Asians, allelic comparison (a vs A,P = 0.410,OR = 0.79, 95%CI = 0.45-1.39), recessive genetic models (aa vs Aa/AA, P = 0.041,OR = 0.75,95%CI = 0.57-0.99),dominant genetic models (aa/Aa vs AA, P = 0.385,OR = 0.75, 95%CI = 0.40-1.43) in Caucasian;

conclusionThe ApoB(apolipoprotein B) XbaI locus is not a risk factor when it comes to the development of coronary heart disease in the domestic and international populations included in this paper. In Caucasians, people carrying the aa genotype may be less susceptible to CHD (coronary heart disease). The results of recessive genetic models have to take the effect of heterogeneity and sample sizes into account. Further research may require a larger and more rigorous research design.
