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

To date, only animal studies have been concerned with apelin involvement in acute myocardial ischemia. The aim of this study was to investigate apelin measurements in low-risk patients with first ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and to assess if apelin may feature as a marker of left ventricular (LV) injury and prognosis. In 78 consecutive patients (mean age 67 +/- 11.5 years, 24 women) with first STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention, plasma apelin-36 concentrations were measured twice: on admission and on the 5th day of hospitalization. Left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) was applied as marker of LV injury. Composite endpoint (CEP), which included death, stroke, and recurrent ischemic event, was assessed after 1 year follow-up. On the first day, median apelin-36 concentration was 2138.5 pg/ml and on the 5th day was significantly lower, 2008.3 pg/ml (P = 0.002). There were no significant differences found in apelin-36 concentrations between patients with normal and low LVEF. In both groups significant reductions were found in apelin-36 concentrations measured in 5-day intervals (P = 0.04 and P = 0.008, respectively). After a 1-year follow-up, only one patient died and 19 patients (24.3%) had reached CEP. No difference in baseline apelin-36 concentrations were found in the group of patients who reached CEP compared with those without CEP. However, in both groups concentrations significantly decreased after 5 days (P = 0.04 and P = 0.013, respectively). Apelin-36 concentrations are reduced in low risk first STEMI patients during the first days regardless of the degree of LV dysfunction and prognosis.
