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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundSerum low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which includes apolipoprotein A-I (apoAI-LDL) may be generated by oxidization in the serum of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We determine the utility of the serum apoAI-LDL level as a novel coronary risk factor.

methodsWe measured serum apoAI-LDL in 473 consecutive patients who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography. Serum levels of apoAI-LDL were assayed by a newly developed ELISA.

resultsThe patients consisted of 84 with unstable angina (UA), 259 with stable CAD, and 130 without CAD (control). The serum level of apoAI-LDL was higher in CAD patients than in the control group (31.4 (22.1-41.4) microg/ml vs. 24.6 (18.4-29.2) microg/ml, respectively, p<0.001), as well as in patients with UA compared to those with stable CAD 44.5 (35.8-51.9) microg/ml vs. 27.1 (19.5-35.6) microg/ml, respectively, p<0.0001) (data are expressed as the median (25th-75th percentiles)). By logistic regression analysis, only apoAI-LDL was independent, being significantly able to predict CAD (odds ratio: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.23-1.82, p<0.001), and differentiate unstable angina (odds ratio: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.48-2.17, p<0.001) after controlling for classical risk factors.

conclusionThe serum level of apoAI-LDL, a newly identified component of oxidized LDL, may be a more sensitive marker of CAD and acute coronary syndrome than CRP.
