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 aim of the present study was to assess the influences of PRKCH gene variants (1425G/A and _15) on the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a Chinese population. Our study population consisted of 470 CAD patients and 434 control subjects. The alleles frequencies of the two variants were significantly higher among CAD patients than control subjects (P = 0.001 for 1425G/A and P = 0.001 for _15, respectively). In the CAD group, the A allele carriers of 1425G/A and _15 polymorphisms had higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels than homozygote G allele carriers (P = 0.001 and P = 0.021, respectively). In a multiple logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), etc., a markedly increased risk of developing CAD was found in subjects carrying GA or AA genotype (P = 0.005 and P = 0.018, respectively). In conclusion, we observed that there was a remarkable association of minor alleles (1425G/A and _15) in the PRKCH gene with an elevated risk of CAD and increased levels of LDL-C in this Chinese population.
