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

backgroundResults regarding the association between a-adducin (ADD1) gene and essential hypertension (EH) risk remain inconsistent. Therefore, we performed this meta-analysis to investigate this association. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe comprehensively searched published literature from PubMed and Embase. All studies analyzing the association between ADD1 Gly460Trp polymorphism and EH risk were included. Fixed- or random-effects model was used to calculate pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).

resultsData synthesis showed an increased risk of EH in T allele variant carriers with Asian descent, for GG vs. TT (OR=0.750, 95%CI: 0.585-0.960; P=0.022), recessive model (OR=1.196, 95%CI: 1.009-1.418; P=0.039), dominant model (OR=0.826, 95%CI: 0.693-0.985; P=0.033), and allelic model (OR=0.859, 95%CI: 0.756-0.964; P=0.01), respectively. However, no statistical differences were observed in Blacks and Caucasians.

conclusionsThe findings showed the association of the T allele in ADD1 gene with EH susceptibility in Asians. However, well-designed studies involving gene-gene and gene-environment interactions should be considered in future.
