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

objectiveThe present study is an exploration of the dynamic changes of plasma mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) and inflammatory level in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI).

methodsThirty-eight patients with acute MI and 33 control participants were included in the study. Blood samples were collected on admission, 12 hours post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 24 hours post-PCI, and 48 hours post-PCI. White blood cell (WBC) count and Creactive protein (CRP) level were determined. Plasma was isolated from whole blood. Plasma mtDNA was measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Bivariate correlation analysis was used to find correlation between plasma mtDNA and inflammatory level on admission.

resultsPlasma mtDNA was significantly higher in patients with acute MI than controls on admission (p<0.01). Plasma mtDNA decreased significantly after PCI treatment (p=0.01). WBC count, TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP showed similar pattern: elevation after onset of acute MI and contraction after PCI treatment (p<0.05). Positive correlations between plasma mtDNA and WBC count (r=0.435; p<0.001), TNF-α (r=0.538; p<0.001), IL-6 (r=0.518; p<0.001), and CRP (r=0.524; p<0.001) were identified.

conclusionPlasma mtDNA elevated after onset of acute MI and positive correlation was observed between plasma mtDNA and inflammatory level, suggesting that mtDNA may play a key role in inflammatory responses in patients with acute MI.
