Effect of MTHFR A1298C Gene Polymorphism on Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 2023. 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
backgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Acute coronary syndrome is a manifestation of CVD. In Indonesia, limited studies have been conducted on genetics as a potential risk factor for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Consequently, this study aimed to examine the effect of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) A1298C gene polymorphism on the incidence of ACS.
methodThe study employed a case-control design. Outpatients from the cardiology and internal medicine clinics at the University of Airlangga (UNAIR) Hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia, constituted the study population. The case group comprised 60 patients with a history of ACS, while the control group consisted of 30 patients without a history of cardiovascular complaints. MTHFR A12980C gene polymorphism examination was performed using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR RFLP) method at the Tropical Disease Center UNAIR Laboratory.
resultsAmong the ACS group, 29 (48.1%), 13 (21.7%), and 18 (30%) of the individuals had AA, AC, and CC genotype patterns, respectively. In the control group, 16 individuals had AA (53.3%), 6 AC (20%), and 8 CC (26.7%). The C allele variant was identified in 41% of the ACS group and 37% of the control group. The odds ratio (OR) for the incidence of ACS was 1.195 (95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.381-3.752), 1.241 (95% CI; 0.481-3.486), and 1.222 (95% CI; 0.381-3.752). Chi-square analysis revealed no association between MTHFR A1298C gene polymorphism and the incidence of ACS (P > 0.05).
conclusionsMTHFR A1298C gene polymorphism did not significantly affect ACS incidence.
