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

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a major contributor to morbidity in older adults. We aimed to determine genetic and non-genetic determinants of PAD and ankle-brachial index (ABI) in the Long Life Family Study (LLFS). 3006 individuals had ABI assessment, including 1090 probands (mean age 89), 1554 offspring (mean age 60) and 362 spousal controls (mean age 61). Outcomes include minimum of right and left ABIs and PAD (ABI <0.9). Stepwise regression determined independent significant non-genetic correlates of ABI and PAD. Genomewide association and linkage analyses were adjusted for age, sex, study center, significant principal components, and independent predictors. All analyses accounted for familial relatedness. Median ABI was 1.16 and 7.4% had PAD (18.2% probands, 1.0% offspring, 1.9% controls). Correlates of PAD and lower ABI included age, SBP, and creatinine (ABI only); BMI (ABI only), HDL (ABI only) and DBP (PAD only); and antihypertensive use, current smoking, female sex (ABI only), and high school noncompletion (ABI only). Genomewide linkage identified 1 region (15q12-q13) and association identified 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs780213, rs12512857, rs79644420) of interest. In these families, PAD prevalence was low compared to other studies of older adults. We identified four genomic sites that may harbor variants associated with protection from PAD.
