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

Oxidative stress due to an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may play a role in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is a marker of oxidative DNA damage caused by ROS. This review aimed to assess the association between 8-OHdG and CVD by reviewing the literature. Studies in human subjects using either plasma or urine to determine 8-OHdG concentrations were surveyed. Eighteen relevant studies were found, of which 13 were case-control studies and five had a prospective design. Without exception, the case-control studies showed significant positive associations between 8-OHdG and CVD. In agreement, two prospective studies showed a significant association of 8-OHdG and heart failure. Furthermore, two prospective studies found a significant association between 8-OHdG and stroke, and finally, one prospective study showed a borderline significant (p = 0.08) association between coronary artery disease (CAD) patients developing a cardiac event and 8-OHdG concentrations. In conclusion, high levels of 8-OHdG in blood and urine are associated with atherosclerosis and heart failure, but further large prospective studies are needed to investigate 8-OHdG as a predictor for cardiovascular diseases.
