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

Background: Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 ( Methods: A total of 138 individuals were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Genomic DNA was extracted from both patients on warfarin and healthy subjects, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) specific amplicons were genotyped via standard sequencing which also allowed the detection of rs397509427. Comparisons of -1639G>A frequency with other populations were drawn. Results: Of 94 patients on warfarin, 53 (56.38%) were with idiopathic venous thromboembolism (VTE). Despite comparable frequencies of the -1639A allele (47% and 50%), the AA and GA genotypes were at disparate frequencies of 93.2% versus 79.8% in the healthy subjects ( Conclusions: Our results prove a high -1639A prevalence in Syrian healthy subjects and patients on warfarin at frequencies comparable to other Mediterranean and Middle Eastern populations. The A allele carriers are at a lower VTE risk, whereas a global prevalence gradient of the G allele is suggested to be associated with VTE risk.
