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

Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. Chronic HHcy induces coronary endothelial injury, and homocysteine (Hcy) inhibits insulin sensitivity by inducing endoplasmic reticulum stress in adipose tissue. However, the combined effects of chronic HHcy and hypertension on coronary artery endothelial function have still remained unclear. Fifty-one patients with essential hypertension (HT) were recruited, and were divided into nHT group (without HHcy) and H-type HT group (with HHcy). Forty healthy subjects were enrolled as controls. We assessed coronary artery endothelial function by coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR). Hcy levels were significantly higher (15.60±6.58 vs 13.08±4.13 μmol l(-1), P<0.05), whereas CFVR values were significantly lower in the HT patients than in the control group (2.88±0.70 vs 3.23±0.54, P<0.05). Hcy levels were negatively correlated with CFVR value (r=-0.578, P<0.01, 95% confidence interval -0.085 to -0.046). The homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance values were significantly higher (3.92±2.16 vs 2.72±1.50, P<0.05) , whereas CFVR values were significantly lower in H-type HT group than in nHT group (2.31±0.31 vs 3.25±0.62, P<0.01). Coronary artery endothelial function may be impaired in essential hypertensive patients with HHcy, and insulin resistance induced by HHcy may contribute to this damage.
