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 disease (CVD) is closely associated with familial predisposition. The aim of the present study was to investigate predisposing risk factors in the family of a young patient who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery due to CVD. The father and uncle of the patient died at an early age due to myocardial infarction. Various stages of CVD were identified in both of the patient's brothers (28 and 32 years of age). Biochemical tests (fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, urea, creatinine and liver enzymes) and a complete blood count (haemoglobin, haematocrit, white blood cell count, and platelet count) were performed. Physiological coagulation inhibitory factors (protein C, protein S, and antithrombin III), prothrombotic genetic risk factors (factor V Leiden, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase A1C and C6T, angiotensin-converting enzyme, β-fibrinogen, glycoprotein IIIa and factor XIII) and homocysteine levels were evaluated in all cases. Defects were observed in many genetic factors and in the systems regulated by these factors. The results were compatible with those reported in the literature. In conclusion, it is possible to determine a specific family history in young adults with CVD. From this perspective, the emergence of more serious CVD may be prevented by providing disease-related information to the other family members and implementing preventive measures.
