Osteoprotegerin SNP associations with coronary artery disease and ischemic stroke risk: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Bioscience reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is involved in the development of atherosclerosis and cardio-cerebrovascular disease. The goal of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association of OPG single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke. A total of 15 eligible studies were extracted from electronic databases. Odds ratios (ORs) were presented, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), to assess the associations. Meta-analysis was conducted using MetaGenyo, STATA, and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis. Meta-analysis of our data showed that the OPG SNP T950C was significantly associated with increased CAD risk among Asians via recessive (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.18-2.04, P=0.002), CC vs TT (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.16-2.11, P=0.003) and allelic (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.05-1.38, P=0.007) models. No strong associations were observed for the OPG SNP G1181C, T245G and G209A with CAD risk. When evaluating the OPG SNP T245G and T950C associations with ischemic stroke, we found the OPG SNP T245G to be significantly associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke among Chinese via recessive (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.02-2.29, P=0.039) and CC vs AA (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.07-2.42, P=0.021) models. Our results suggested that the OPG SNP T950C was associated with increased risk of CAD among Asians, and the OPG SNP T245G was associated with enhanced ischemic stroke risk among Chinese.
