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

backgroundAcute coronary syndromes (ACS) are characterized by abnormal heart-rate variability (HRV) and biomarkers of endothelial damage and thrombosis. HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesized an association between these factors in patients with ACS.

methodsWe studied 99 patients with ACS measuring HRV and plasma markers of endothelial damage/dysfunction (von Willebrand factor, vWF) and thrombosis/hemostasis (soluble P-selectin (s-Psel); CD(40)-ligand (CD(40)-L); D-dimer). HRV and plasma indices were compared to age- and gender-matched controls. Measures were repeated at 4 months in a subset. vWF, s-Psel and D-Dimer levels were raised compared to control.

resultsHRV indices were reduced (mean RR, SDNN, SDNNi, RMSSD, Triangular index, LF and HF). There were weak correlations between mean RR and s-Psel (R = - 0.234, p = 0.023) and D-dimer (R = - 0.219, p = 0.041). At 4-month follow-up, significant correlations were between mean RR and CD(40)L (R = - 0.414, p = 0.008) and D-dimer (R = - 0.363, p = 0.012). On multivariate logistic regression analysis statin use (p = 0.046) was the only independent predictor of acute s-Psel levels. Age (p = 0.004) and mean RR interval (p = 0.01) were independent predictors of D-dimer levels at follow-up.

conclusionsAbnormal HRV is associated with markers of hemostasis and thrombosis in ACS, and present both in the acute and rehabilitation phases.
