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

backgroundAim of the study was to analyze the correlation of high-sensitivity assayed troponin I with cardiac and vascular structure and function in a large population-based cohort.

methodsIn a sample of 4,139 subjects (2,099 men, 2,040 women, age 35-74 years) from the population-based Gutenberg Health Study, troponin I was measured with a high-sensitivity assay that had a limit of detection of 1.9 pg/mL.

resultsIn the study cohort, 3,405 subjects had detectable troponin I concentrations [82.3% overall, 89.9% men (N = 1,888), 74.4% women (N = 1,517)]. All analyses were adjusted for age. The strongest correlate between detectable troponin I and measures of cardiac phenotypes was observed for left ventricular mass (p < 0.001) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (p < 0.001) for both, women and men. Left ventricular ejection fraction was inversely correlated with troponin I (p value <0.001 in men and 0.0013 in women), also measures of diastolic dysfunction as represented by Tei index and E/E' correlated with detectable troponin I concentrations (p < 0.001 for both gender). With respect to vascular structure and function, troponin I correlated with mean intima-media thickness of the carotid artery (p < 0.001 in men and p = 0.013 in women) but showed only borderline correlation with measures of vascular function represented by flow-mediated dilation (p = 0.05 in women and p = 0.018 in men) and arterial stiffness.

conclusionsTroponin I assessed by a high-sensitivity assay correlated with measures of left ventricular hypertrophy and systolic and diastolic function, whereas its correlation with vascular phenotypes was only of weak magnitude.
