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

backgroundEndothelial dysfunction is an early manifestation of atherosclerotic disease. Circulating cells that express CD34, including endothelial and hematopoietic progenitor cells, might play a part in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between coronary endothelial dysfunction and concentrations of circulating CD34+ cell subsets.

methodsIntracoronary acetylcholine challenge was used to test for coronary endothelial dysfunction in 57 consecutive patients scheduled to undergo diagnostic coronary angiography and with no signs of substantial obstructive lesions. Mononuclear cells were extracted from whole blood samples taken from all patients, analyzed by flow cytometry for CD14, CD34, CD133, CD45, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), and cultured for functional analysis.

resultsCompared with patients with normal coronary endothelial function, in those with coronary endothelial dysfunction, the number of circulating CD34+/CD45(dim)/VEGFR2- cells, CD34+/CD45(dim)/CD133+/VEGFR2- cells and colony-forming units were reduced. Concentrations of CD34+/CD45-/VEGFR2+ cells did not differ between groups.

conclusionsRegulation of CD34+ cell subsets seems to differ between patients with coronary endothelial dysfunction and those with normal coronary endothelial function. Changes in specific circulating progenitor cell subsets might, therefore, be an early manifestation of atherosclerosis.
