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

backgroundPrevious studies have investigated the close association between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and the risk of coronary heart disease (CAD) in the Chinese population. However, the results remain inconclusive. Therefore, this meta-analysis was performed to derive a more precise estimate of these associations.

methodsOdds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess the relationship between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and the risk of CAD. Studies were identified by searching the literature for articles published before 2017.

resultsA total of 39 studies comprising 12,101 individuals (6117 cases and 5984 controls) were included. For the allelic model T vs. C, the pooled OR was 1.43 (95% CI: 1.30-1.57, p < 0.0001); for the recessive model TT vs. CC + TC, the pooled OR was 1.48 (95% CI: 1.29-1.70, p < 0.0001); for the dominant model TT + TC vs. CC, the pooled OR was 1.65 (95% CI: 1.43-1.89, p < 0.0001).

conclusionIn the subgroup analysis of high-quality studies, an obvious association was observed between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and CAD risk in the Chinese population.
