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

objectivePrevious studies have suggested that there is a relationship between coronary artery disease (CAD) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Here, we aimed to evaluate the association between PTH levels and severity of CAD.

methodsPatients were divided into two groups based on their serum PTH values. Patients with PTH levels ≤72 pg/mL were accepted as Group 1 (n=568) and >72 pg/mL as Group 2 (n=87). Gensini score system and >50% stenosis in any coronary artery with conventional coronary angiography were used to determine the extensiveness of CAD. This study was designed as a prospective and cross-sectional study.

resultsBaseline characteristics except for age, gender, and blood pressure were similar between groups. Mean serum PTH levels of the entire cohort was 43.4±29.5 pg/mL. Median Gensini score was 19.5 in Group 1 and 14.5 in Group 2 (p=0.75). On the other hand, PTH levels were weakly correlated with Gensini score (Spearman's Rho=0.11, p=0.003). Additionally, we did not observe a statistically significant difference between PTH levels and the number of stenotic vessels (p=0.14). This study was designed as a prospective and cross-sectional study.

conclusionThere is no association between serum PTH levels and extensiveness of CAD.
