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

backgroundWe previously reported that serum N METHODS AND

resultsSerum me-NAM was measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in patients with (n=230) or without (n=103) CAD as defined by coronary angiography. The severity of CAD was expressed by number of diseased coronary arteries. Serum me-Nam was higher (7.65 ng/mL versus 4.95 ng/mL, P<0.001) in patients with CAD than in those without. Serum me-Nam was positively correlated with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein before and after adjustment for potential confounding variables (P≤0.002). In multivariable logistic regression analyses, compared with those in the lowest tertile of serum me-NAM levels, patients in the top tertile had the highest risks for CAD (odds ratio, 4.21; 95% CI, 1.97-8.97 [P<0.001]). After adjustment for potential confounding variables, serum me-NAM was also increased from 0- to 3-vessel disease (P for trend=0.01).

conclusionsSerum me-Nam is strongly associated with presence and severity of CAD, suggesting nicotinamide N-methyltransferase as a potential target for treating atherosclerosis in humans.
