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

Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) is one of the molecules on the endothelial cell membrane, which may guide inflammatory cells into atherosclerotic lesions. This dual function molecule may also contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and other vasculopathies via its enzymatic activity that oxidizes primary amines to produce their corresponding aldehydes, hydrogen peroxide, and ammonium. Because VAP-1 also exists in a soluble form, we analyzed its potential usefulness as a biomarker to monitor and predict the extent of ongoing atherosclerotic processes. Soluble VAP-1 (sVAP-1) levels were determined from the sera of 136 Finnish men with established coronary heart disease and in 275 controls using sandwich enzyme immunoassays and correlated to multiple risk factors for coronary events. Intriguingly, sVAP-1 showed a statistically significant correlation with diabetes in both cohorts. We then collected patients with type 1 diabetes and observed that sVAP-1 levels were highly elevated when the patients were metabolically compromised. On normalization of their blood glucose and ketone body levels by exogenous insulin, their sVAP-1 concentration rapidly decreased to control levels. Intravenous glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinemic clamp tests further showed that elevation of blood glucose per se did not increase sVAP-1 levels, but rather, sVAP-1 was inversely correlated with circulating insulin concentrations. In conclusion insulin appears to regulate shedding or clearance of VAP-1, and an increase in sVAP-1 because of absolute or relative insulin deficiency may be directly involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic angiopathy.
