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

rationaleOne measure of protein glycosylation (GlycA) has been reported to predict higher cardiovascular risk by reflecting inflammatory pathways.

objectiveThe main objective of this study is to assess the role of a comprehensive panel of IgG glycosylation traits on traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease and on presence of subclinical atherosclerosis in addition to GlycA. METHODS AND

resultsWe measured 76 IgG glycosylation traits in 2970 women (age range, 40-79 years) from the TwinsUK cohort and correlated it to their estimated 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk score and their carotid and femoral plaque measured by ultrasound imaging. Eight IgG glycan traits are associated with the 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk score after adjusting for multiple tests and for individual risk factors-5 with increased risk and 3 with decreased risk. These glycans replicated in 967 women from ORCADES cohort (Orkney Complex Disease Study), and 6 of them were also associated in 845 men. A linear combination of IgG glycans and GlycA is also associated with presence of carotid (odds ratio, 1.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.25-1.93;

conclusionsWe find molecular pathways linking IgG to arterial lesion formation. Glycosylation traits are independently associated with subclinical atherosclerosis. One specific trait related to the sialylated N-glycan is negatively correlated with cardiovascular disease risk, very-low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride serum levels, and presence of carotid plaque.
