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

Aim: This study aims to examine the association between the prevalence of Q192R polymorphism of PON1 gene and the occurrence of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease in patients in Republic of North Macedonia. Method: This cross-sectional study includes subjects undergoing percutaneous coronary angiography with or without stenting due to monitoring of stable angina or induced ischemia, divided into two groups. Q192R polymorphism and its genotypic variants were analysed. The Polymerase Chain Reaction technique was used as a method for determining the single nucleotide polymorphism. Results: A total of 165 subjects (106 belonging to the coronary artery disease (CAD) group and 59 to non-CAD group were evaluated in terms of their biochemical parameters and genetic variants. Results of the PON1 SNP Q192R groups (QQ, QR and RR) association related to CAD and non-CAD groups, resulted in a non-significant association (p=0.0632, OR=0.511, CI: 0.25-0.595, χ Conclusion: Results support the concept that genetic variants may contribute to an increased risk of CAD, emphasizing the importance of combined biochemical and genetic testing for better stratification of cardiovascular risk and early confirmation of the predisposition to develop serious cardiovascular disease. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed before Q192R gene polymorphism can be considered as a genetic risk factor for CAD.
