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

backgroundRegenerating islet-derived protein 3 beta (Reg3β) is a cardiomyocyte-derived chemokine for macrophages that is upregulated after myocardial infarction (MI) in mice. Here, we hypothesized that monitoring Reg3β expression might provide specific information on the degree of cardiac inflammation, which is a key determinant in disease progression and prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS AND

resultsThe expression of Reg3β and other inflammatory markers including C-reactive protein (CRP) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) was measured by immunoblotting at serial time points in the hearts and serum of mice with acute MI. We identified a rapid increase of Reg3β, CRP and MPO expression in cardiac tissue and serum within the first 24 h after MI. The expression of Reg3β peaked at day 4 and thereby paralleled the kinetic profile of the early immune-inflammatory response at sites of cardiac injury, which has been characterized by multicolor flow cytometry. In a retrospective analysis including 322 ACS patients and 117 apparently healthy individuals, we detected increased Reg3β serum concentrations in ACS patients on admission by ELISA. Multiple regression analysis revealed significant relationships between Reg3β and hs-CRP, age, diabetes and NT-proBNP in ACS. Moreover, elevated Reg3β levels on admission were associated with an increased risk of death independent of cardiovascular risk factors and hs-CRP.

conclusionsReg3β is a prognostic biomarker for ACS and is strongly associated with the intensity of cardiac inflammation. Accordingly, Reg3β may complement established strategies of acute risk assessment in the management of ACS.
