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

Instability in circulation, hypoperfusion, hypoxia, and ischemia in pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) may occur as a result of failure in pulmonary circulation. All these conditions cause inflammation and oxidative stress. We aimed to investigate inflammatory markers, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels, and the oxidant-antioxidant balance in patients with PTE. This study was conducted as a prospective case-control study. Thirty-eight patients with PTE enrolled to the study. Age- and gender-matched 38 healthy subjects without risk factors for pulmonary embolism were selected as control group. Venous blood samples were obtained from the PTE patients during the initial diagnosis and at the first month of treatment and from the control subjects. Interleukine-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), and ADMA levels were measured for all the samples. The results of patients and healthy subjects were compared. The mean age of the control group was 51.81 ± 15.18 years, and the mean age of the patients was 52.90 ± 18.22 years (p = 0.770). Deep venous thrombosis was present in 68 % of the patients. While we found significant differences between the patient and control groups in terms of IL-6, TAS, TNF-α, ADMA and oxidative stress index (OSI) values (p = 0.001, p = 0.011, p = 0.038, p = 0.028, and p = 0.024, respectively), the TOS value was not different between the groups (p = 0.080). The ADMA, TNF-α, TAS, TOS, and OSI values of the patients during the initial diagnosis and at the first month of treatment were not different (p > 0.05). The results of this study indicate an increased inflammation, endothelial damage, and oxidative stress in PTE. No difference at the first month of therapy suggests ongoing processes. We consider that these markers may be useful in the diagnosis and follow up of PTE.
