Targeted metabolomic approach in men with carotid plaque.
Trial report in PloS one, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe aim of the study was to analyse the presence of several metabolites related to atherosclerosis in the plasma of patients with unstable carotid plaque and in the plasma of healthy subjects. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe included 20 patients who had undergone carotid endarterectomy and 20 healthy subjects as a control group. All the subjects recruited were male. We used a metabolomic approach with liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry to evaluate plasma metabolite levels in the metabolic pathway involved in the progression of atherosclerotic plaque.
resultsWe observed that circulating levels of 20-HETE were significantly higher in patients with atheroma plaque than in healthy subjects (p = 0.018). No differences were found with regard to the other metabolites analysed. We also conducted a random forest analysis and found that 20-HETE was the main differentiator in the list of selected metabolites. In addition, plasma levels of 20-HETE correlated positively with body mass index (r = 0.427, p = 0.007) and diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.365, p = 0.028).
conclusionThis study confirms that of all the molecules studied only 20-HETE is related to carotid plaque. Further studies are needed to compare patients with stable carotid plaque vs. patients with unstable carotid plaque in order to confirm that 20-HETE could be a potential factor related to carotid plaque.
