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

Chronic microinflammation and its cellular hallmark, monocyte activation, contribute substantially to the tremendous burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Monocyte heterogeneity is widely acknowledged. Cell-surface expression of CD14 and CD16 defines three functionally and phenotypically distinct subsets of monocytes: classical (CD14(++)CD16(-)) monocytes, intermediate (CD14(++)CD16(+)) monocytes, and nonclassical (CD14(+)CD16(++)) monocytes. A growing body of circumstantial evidence suggests that intermediate monocytes, in particular, contribute to the development of atherosclerosis in the general population as well as in patients with CKD. Intermediate monocytes express a unique pattern of chemokine receptors that have been implicated in atherogenesis. Moreover, this subset of monocytes is predisposed to secrete proinflammatory cytokines. Findings from epidemiological studies indicate that numbers of intermediate monocytes increase with worsening renal function, and that high cell counts predict adverse outcomes in patients undergoing dialysis as well as in patients at early stages of CKD. Based on laboratory and clinical data, intermediate monocytes are a promising therapeutic target for CVD in patients with CKD.
