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

Cardiovascular events are markedly increased in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and the mechanism of atherogenesis remains poorly understood. Several methods have been employed to assess endothelial function, among these is the measurement of biomarkers of endothelial activation and dysfunction [intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1)]. It has been reported that such biomarkers play a more important role than traditional risk factors in cardiovascular disease. The objectives of this study were to determine the level of ICAM-1 as markers of endothelial dysfunction in 40 Egyptian patients who have SLE with various degrees of activity and to investigate their relationship to disease activity. Sixty people (40 with SLE and 20 healthy as the control group) were the subject of this study; their clinical disease activity was scored according to the SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI), and serum sampling was obtained for ICAM-1 level assay. Renal biopsy was carried out and examined by light microscopy by a pathologist blinded to the clinical activity. The mean level of ICAM-1 was significantly higher in SLE patients with active disease (826.05 +/- 367.1 Pg/ml) compared to those with inactive disease (441.33 +/- 225.19 Pg/ml) and the healthy control volunteers (111.5 +/- 17.36 Pg/ml). There was a positive correlation between serum ICAM-1 and SLEDAI (r = 0.66). A high concentration of soluble ICAM-1 in SLE patients with nephritis is reported in this paper. Our finding of increased concentrations of ICAM-1 in SLE patients with nephritis underlines the importance of inflammation and endothelial involvement in this disease, but their predictive value in the disease monitoring need to be further studied.
