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

objectiveWe investigated the possible association of serum acylation stimulating protein (ASP) with cardiometabolic disorders and the evidence of autoimmune activation.

methodsPopulation-based randomly selected 1024 participants were cross-sectionally and prospectively analyzed. ASP concentrations were measured with a validated ELISA kit. Correlations were sought separately in subjects with no cardiometabolic disorders (n=427) designated as "healthy."

resultsASP was positively correlated with total testosterone and inversely correlated with platelet activating factor (PAF), PAF-acetylhydrolase (AH), in each gender, and positively correlated in "healthy" men with lipoprotein [Lp](a) and apolipoprotein B. Correlations of ASP with PAF values ≥22 nmol/L were abolished, contrasted to a strongly inverse one in subjects with PAF <22 nmol/L. In linear regression analyses in the whole sample, ASP was inversely associated independently with PAF and PAF-AH and, in men, positively with Lp(a) and sex hormone-binding globulin. Prevalent and (at 2.0 years' follow-up) incident metabolic syndrome (MetS, n=393), diabetes (n=154), and coronary heart disease (CHD, n=171) were analyzed by sex-, age-, and Lp(a)-adjusted logistic regression, using tertiles of ASP and PAF. The lower two (<42 nmol/L) ASP tertiles were a risk factor in combined sexes for MetS and diabetes. In women, incident CHD was predicted by either reduced or elevated ASP tertiles.

conclusionFindings can be explained by the notion of operation of immune responses against both ASP and oxidized PAF-like lipids of Lp(a) to yield for "reduced" values and increased likelihood of cardiometabolic disorders.
