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

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in cardiovascular remodeling by degrading the extracellular matrix. Enhanced MMP expression has been detected in the atherosclerotic plaque, and activation of MMPs appears to be involved in the vulnerability of the plaque. Circulating MMP levels are elevated in patients with acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina. Increased MMP expression is also observed after coronary angioplasty, which is related to late loss index after the procedure. These observations suggest that MMP expression may be not only related to instability of the plaque, but also to the formation of restenotic lesions. The development of therapeutic drugs targeted specifically against MMPs may be useful in the prevention of atherosclerotic lesion development, plaque rupture, and restenosis.
