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

Objective To evaluate the association between plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2; known to release inflammatory mediators that promote atherosclerosis) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in Chinese patients. Methods This observational, cross-sectional study included a patient cohort who were assessed by coronary angiography and divided into patients with coronary heart disease and patients with normal coronary angiography (controls). Data for several biochemical indicators were collected. Plasma Lp-PLA2 concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyse the association between Lp-PLA2 concentration and CHD. Results A total of 531 patients were included, comprising 391 with CHD and 140 with normal coronary angiography (controls). Plasma Lp-PLA2 concentration was significantly higher in patients with CHD versus controls (median, 251 µg/l versus 219 µg/l, respectively), and particularly among patients with acute myocardial infarction and stable angina pectoris (249 µg/l and 266 µg/l, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that Lp-PLA2 ≥ 292 µg/l (upper quartile of the whole cohort) was independently associated with CHD (odds ratio 2.814, 95% confidence interval 1.519, 5.214). Conclusion Plasma Lp-PLA2 concentration was independently associated with CHD in Chinese patients.
