Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.

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

Identifying blood biomarkers may be of particular value in neurologic disorders such as stroke because of the difficulty in directly studying the brain and its blood vessels. Markers of brain injury, inflammation, excitotoxicity, and oxidative damage have been evaluated for their value in stroke diagnosis, treatment, and management, but none have proved to be sensitive or specific enough for routine clinical use. However, new cellular and molecular profiling approaches using the peripheral blood offer the potential for identifying panels of genes and proteins by increasing specificity while maintaining sensitivity. Furthermore, the first biomarker for predicting stroke risk associated with atherosclerosis (lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2) was recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. The ultimate aim for stroke biomarkers is to develop rapid, easy to use, widely available, and inexpensive diagnostic tests that can be used in the clinic and in clinical trials.
