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

The purpose of the study was to explore the association between plasma platelet activating factor (PAF) and platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) levels and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) or blood stasis syndrome (BSS) of CHD. Questionnaire, routine clinical assays and plasma levels of PAF, PAF-AH and inflammatory factors hs-CRP and IL-6 were investigated or measured for 120 controls and 150 CHD patients (66 non-BSS and 84 BSS). Plasma PAF levels were higher in CHD patients [49.7 (34.8-73.2 pg/mL)] than in controls [23.8 (14.9-42.3 pg/mL)] (P < 0.001), and in BSS [56.0 (40.1-86.1 pg/mL)] than in non-BSS [47.4 (29.0-67.4 pg/mL)] (P = 0.027). Similarly, plasma PAF-AH levels were higher in CHD patients [11.5 (7.5-15.6 μmol/L)] than in controls [8.1 (5.4-12.6 μmol/L)] (P < 0.001), and in BSS [13.4 (8.7-18.5 μmol/L)] than in non-BSS [9.5 (7.3-14.3 μmol/L)] (P = 0.014). After adjustment for the confounded effects of inflammatory factors or conventional risk factors, plasma PAF and PAF-AH levels still had a significant difference between CHD patients and controls, but plasma PAF-AH rather than PAF levels had a significant difference between BSS and non-BSS. Elevated plasma PAF level contributed to the risk of CHD rather than BSS, and elevated plasma PAF-AH level was an independent risk factor of CHD and BSS.
