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

backgroundSeveral lines of evidence support a pathophysiological role of immunity in atherosclerosis. Tyrosine-nitrated proteins, a footprint of oxygen- and nitrogen-derived oxidants generated by cells of the immune system, are enriched in atheromatous lesions and in circulation of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the consequences of possible immune reactions triggered by the presence of nitrated proteins in subjects with clinically documented atherosclerosis have not been explored. METHODS AND

resultsSpecific immunoglobulins that recognize 3-nitrotyrosine epitopes were identified in human lesions, as well as in circulation of patients with CAD. The levels of circulating immunoglobulins against 3-nitrotyrosine epitopes were quantified in patients with CAD (n=374) and subjects without CAD (non-CAD controls, n=313). A 10-fold increase in the mean level of circulating immunoglobulins against protein-bound 3-nitrotyrosine was documented in patients with CAD (3.75±1.8 μg antibody Eq/mL plasma versus 0.36±0.8 μg antibody Eq/mL plasma), and was strongly associated with angiographic evidence of significant CAD.

conclusionsThe results of this cross-sectional study suggest that posttranslational modification of proteins via nitration within atherosclerotic plaque-laden arteries and in circulation serve as neo-epitopes for the elaboration of immunoglobulins, thereby providing an association between oxidant production and the activation of the immune system in CAD.
