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.
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
introductionAcute coronary syndrome (ACS) is caused by destabilization and rupture of atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary artery via mechanisms affecting leukocyte signaling, rolling, adhesion, extravasation and inflammation-promoting factors. The majority of cellular communication takes place on the membrane surface that is covered with glycoproteins and glycolipids synthesized by glycosyltransferases. The aim of this study was to determine the mRNA expression of leukocyte adhesion-related glycosyltransferases in patients during the onset and the chronic phase of ACS and to compare the expression with matching subjects without coronary disease. SUBJECTS AND
methodsThe study included 26 ACS patients and 26 ACS-free matched-pair controls. Blood samples were collected at the time of hospital admittance and 8 days later. Expression analysis of six fucosyltransferases and six sialyltransferases was performed by a real-time polymerase chain reaction.
resultsAt the time of admittance ACS subjects had lower expression levels of FUT4, ST6GalNac4, ST6Gal1 and GM3 synthase (p < 0.05) than the control subjects, and moreover, after 8 days down-regulation of FUT7 and ST6GalNac3 was also observed (p < 0.05). When compared to the initial gene expression, after treatment and stabilization of ACS subjects, FUT7, ST6GalNac2 and ST6GalNac3 were down-regulated, whereas ST6GalNac1 was up-regulated. Expression levels of FUT7, ST6GalNac1, ST6GalNac2 and ST6GalNac3 were predicted by several drugs and medical history.
conclusionExpression of glycosyltransferase genes differs in ACS and control subjects. During the course of the ACS study we established further changes in gene expression levels. Medical history was predictive of gene expression levels while drugs were shown to modulate expression levels.
