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

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a common abnormality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the progression of LVH. As an inner mitochondrial membrane structural protein, mitofilin plays a key role in maintaining mitochondrial structure and function. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between mitofilin and LVH in HD patients. A total of 98 HD patients and 32 healthy controls were included in the study. Serum N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP), endothelin-1 (ET-1), and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) were examined. The protein level of mitofilin and the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number were estimated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The left ventricle mass index (LVMI) was evaluated in all participants, and the interaction between these variables and the LVMI was assessed. The LVMI was positively correlated with the NT-proBNP, ET-1, and ANP levels, and it was negatively correlated with mtDNA copy number and mitofilin levels. Multiple regression analysis showed that the NT-proBNP, ET-1, and ANP levels as well as mitofilin levels and mtDNA copy number were associated with the LVMI. Although further research of these associations is needed, this result suggests that LVH may affect the levels of mitofilin in HD patients.
