Association between parental consanguineous marriage and the incidence, age of onset, and severity of coronary artery disease: a cross-sectional study in Iran.

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
Background: The relationship of consanguineous marriage (CM) with cardiovascular conditions, particularly structural congenital heart diseases, has been well established. Although CM may influence genetic predisposition by increasing oligogenicity and genetic homogeneity, its association with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between parental CM and the prevalence, age of onset, and severity of CAD. Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted between May 2021 and August 2022, a total of 13,151 patients undergoing coronary angiography at the Tehran Heart Center were enrolled. A structured questionnaire was used to collect demographic and anthropometric data, medical history, cardiovascular risk factors, previous angiographic findings, and parental kinship information. Analyses were performed using IBM SPSS ver. 23.0. Results: Among 11,986 participants, 66.0% were male, with a mean age of 58.9±10.7 years. CAD was diagnosed in 9,083 individuals (75.8%). In total, 1,515 participants (12.6%) reported a history of parental CM. The prevalence of CAD was 3.2 percentage points higher in individuals with parental CM (P<0.001). Additionally, parental CM was associated with an earlier CAD by 2.4 years. However, no significant correlation was observed between parental CM and CAD severity. Conclusion: Parental consanguinity is associated with a higher prevalence and earlier onset of CAD. These findings suggest that parental CM may be relevant in the context of CAD risk and should be considered in comprehensive CAD risk assessments, particularly in regions where consanguinity is common.
