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

objectivesInflammation is the most important mechanism of plaque disruption playing an essential role in acute coronary syndromes. It is controversial whether the inflammatory mediators are the cause or the result in the development of plaque rupture. Stimulation of interleukins increases adhesion molecules, fibrinogen and plasminogen activator inhibitors,which cause the activation of inflammation and thrombosis. However, the importance of interleukins in acute coronary syndromes has not been clearly defined. We did not find any article concerning relations between the levels of serum interleukin(IL)-1beta, IL-2, IL -8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP). So the aim of this study was to determine the levels of serum I -1b, IL-2, IL-8 and TNF-alpha during the early stage of UAP. METHODS AND

resultsThirty-seven patients with UAP(12 females and 25 males; mean age, 57.5 +/- 9.7 years) within 6 h of admission and 20 healthy volunteers(eight females and 12 males; mean age, 51.3 +/- 6.3 years) were included in the study. IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-8 and TNF-alpha levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Patients with acute or chronic inflammation, renal failure or chronic heart failure were excluded from the study. The age, gender and risk factors of the study and control groups were similar. The levels of IL-1beta, IL-8 and TNF-alpha were significantly increased (p < /0.0001, p < /0.001 and p < /0.016, respectively) in patients with UAP. There was no difference of IL-2 levels between the UAP group and controls.

conclusionWe detected high levels of IL-1beta, IL-8 and TNF-alpha in patients with UAP during early phase. We suggest that proinflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-1beta,IL-8, TNF-alpha) may play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis and its complications.
