LDL-receptor gene polymorphism as a predictor of coronary artery disease: an Egyptian pilot study: relation to lipid profile and angiographic findings.
Article in The Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCoronary artery disease (CAD) is the main cause of death in Egypt. Many LDL-R gene locus single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) are found to be associated with the risk of CAD. This research aimed to assess the allelic and genotypic frequencies of rs1122608 SNP and their association with the extent of vessel affection and lipid profile in a population of Egyptians.100 CAD patients and 100 healthy controls of Egyptians were included. PCR-RFLP was used to genotype rs1122608 SNPs.
resultsSignificantly higher proportion of 'T' allele among patient (risk allele). This association is of low strength (ϕ lies between 0.1 and 0.3). A participant with 'T' allele has 1.95 times higher odds to exhibit CAD versus a participant with 'G' allele. Significantly higher proportion of 'T/T' genotype among cases versus control (risk genotype). This association is of low strength (Cramer's V lies between 0.1 and 0.3). A participant with 'T/T' genotype has 4.5 times higher odds to exhibit CAD versus a participant with 'G/G'. Gensini score showed no significant association with rs1122608 genotypes (p = 0.863).
conclusionsThe mutant GT and TT genotypes and minor T allele of rs1122608 were positively correlated with CAD and considered as independent risk factors for CAD.
