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

backgroundMany studies have evaluated the association between aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) C-344T polymorphism and preeclampsia (PE) susceptibility, however, the results from different studies are inconsistent.

objectiveThe study aimed to derive a more precise estimation of this association.

methodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biological Medicine, and Wanfang Database. The association was evaluated by calculating the odds ratios (ORs) with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsSeven case-control studies with a total of 720 cases and 766 controls were eligible to be included in this meta-analysis. Overall, there was no significant association between CYP11B2 C-344T polymorphism and PE (for the allele model T vs.C: OR=0.78, 95%CI 0.60-1.01, p=0.06; for the codominant model CT vs. CC: OR=1.08, 95%CI 0.80-1.46, p=0.63; for the dominant model TT + CT vs. CC: OR=0.91, 95%CI 0.68-1.20, p=0.49). Similar results were obtained in sensitivity analysis.

conclusionIn summary, the present meta-analysis suggests that CYP11B2 C-344T polymorphism may not be associated with genetic susceptibility of PE, but the association remains indeterminate due to the insufficient evidence.
