Genetic association study of fatal pulmonary embolism.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a complex multi-factorial disease and represents one manifestation of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Most commonly PE constitutes a complication of VTE's other clinical presentation deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The majority of studies concerning risk factors do not distinguish between PE and DVT. The risk factors are often estimated to be alike, but the prevalence and the risk associated with the major genetic factor Factor V Leiden differ between the two disease states. We have investigated the association of 22 SNPs with PE in 185 PE case and 375 healthy control subjects. At p = 0.05, eight SNPs presented with nominally significant evidence of association (EOA), although no significantly different genotype distributions remained between cases and controls after Bonferroni correction. Three of these variants (rs1800790, rs3813948, rs6025) showed EOA in the main analysis, and five variants (rs169713, rs1801131, rs4524, rs5985 and rs8176592) demonstrated EOAs in subgroups. Genomic variation modulating Factor V, Factor XIII, Beta fibrinogen (FGB), TFPI or HIVEP1 should be worth to be followed in subsequent studies. The findings of this study support the view that PE represents a complex disease with many factors contributing relatively small effects. Larger sample sizes will be required to reliably detect these small effects.
