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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the associations of circulating long, non-coding (lncRNA) IFNG-AS1, lncRNA ANRIL and lncRNA ITSN1 relative expressions with disease risk, severity and inflammatory cytokines levels in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.

methodsOne hundred and ninety-one patients suspected of CAD who underwent coronary angiography were consecutively enrolled in this casecontrol study, and divided into CAD patients (N = 102) and controls (N = 89) according to coronary angiographic results. Blood samples of all participants were collected. Plasma lncRNA IFNG-AS1, lncRNA ANRIL and lncRNA ITSN1 expressions were detected using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IL-17 were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Gensini Score was used to evaluate the disease severity of CAD patients.

resultsLncRNA IFNG-AS1 relative expression in CAD patients was upregulated compared with that in controls (P < .001), and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the area under curve (AUC) of lncRNA-IFNG-AS1 for predicting the risk of CAD was 0.755 (95% CI: 0.688-0.821). lncRNA IFNG-AS1 relative expression was remarkably associated with Gensini Score (r = .259, P = .009). Additionally, lncRNA IFNG-AS1 relative expression was positively associated with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (r = .283, P = .004), TNF-α (r = .269, P = .006), and IL-6 levels (r = .425, P < .001), while it was negatively correlated with IL-10 level (r = -.263, P = .008). lncRNA ANRIL or lncRNA ITSN1 was not correlated with CA D risk, Gensini Score, hs-CRP, ESR, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, or IL-17 levels (all P > .05).

conclusionCirculating lncRNA IFNG-AS1 expression correlates with increased disease risk, higher disease severity and elevated inflammation in CAD patients.
