Interleukin-10 as a predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in a racially and ethnically diverse population: Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.
Article in Annals of epidemiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeTo understand if baseline levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) are associated with either subclinical atherosclerosis or risk for adverse cardiovascular (CV) events.
methodsThe study included 930 adults from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) ancillary Stress Study. Participants, age 48-90 years at enrollment, were followed for an average of 10.2 years. IL-10 level was measured at the initial Stress Study visit. Cardiovascular outcomes were defined as composite CV death, myocardial infarction, stroke, stroke death, and resuscitated cardiac arrest. Coronary calcification was determined by Agatston coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. The association between IL-10 level and CV event risk was evaluated by Cox proportional hazard modeling, while that of IL-10 level and CAC presence and amount was determined with prevalence risk ratio (PRR) and linear regression modeling, respectively. Models were adjusted for CV risk factors and proinflammatory biomarkers.
resultsAfter full adjustment, IL-10 level did not predict CV events (HR 1.19, 95%CI 0.89, 1.60) and was not associated with CAC prevalence (PRR 1.00, 95%CI 0.94, 1.07), nor amount of CAC in those with nonzero CAC (β -0.01, 95%CI -0.23, 0.21).
conclusionIn individuals without clinical heart disease, baseline IL-10 level appears unrelated to risk of CV events and is a poor marker of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis.
