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

backgroundIn light of the consistent SES gradient in cardiovascular diseases, current research is focusing on possible pathways through which the socioeconomic status (SES) may impact health. Inflammatory processes play a critical role in the development of cardiovascular diseases and are associated with stress. Therefore, they might be one psychobiological pathway explaining how the SES gets under the skin. Considering the different meanings of education, occupation and income, this article gives an overview of the association between inflammatory biomarkers and socioeconomic status.

resultsThere is high evidence for associations between indicators of SES - education, occupation and income - and inflammatory biomarkers. Possible pathways are health status, health behavior and psychobiological processes as a result of increased exposure to psychosocial stress.

conclusionsThe SES gradient in cardiovascular diseases reflects behavioral as well as physiological pathways and systemic inflammation seems to be involved. Low SES is associated with an increased exposure to adverse circumstances of life, which can trigger biological responses and result in an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Medical history taking in cardiology should focus on socio-structural exposures and thereby reflect the different meanings of education, occupation and income.
