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

The associations between six genetic polymorphisms in the hepatic lipase (HL) gene (LIPC) and variation in postheparin HL activity and fasting serum lipoproteins were evaluated in 395 male Finnish coronary heart disease patients with HDL cholesterol concentrations </= 1.1 mmol/liter. The LIPC promoter polymorphism at position -514 was highly significantly associated with variation in HL activity (P = 0.0000008), with mean activities of 20.4, 17.5, and 13.2 mumol free fatty acid/ml per hour in subjects having C/C, C/T, and T/T genotypes, respectively. Furthermore, the triglyceride content of low density lipoprotein, intermediate density lipoprotein and HDL, and the cholesterol content of intermediate density lipoprotein were found to be associated with variation at LIPC position -514. However, there was no association of this polymorphism with coronary heart disease. These data suggest that the LIPC promoter variation is likely to be the basis for variation in HL activity, which underlies the variation in serum lipoprotein phenotypes in this sample.
