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

backgroundSphingosine 1 phosphate, an active sphingolipid metabolite, functions in both healthy and diseased cardiovascular systems. It has been reported to play a role in angiogenesis and arteriogenesis in various tissues, which are the proposed mechanisms for the development of coronary collateral circulation. To the best of our knowledge, no data exist regarding serum sphingosine 1 phosphate levels and the presence of coronary collateral circulation in the literature. Thus this study aimed to investigate serum sphingosine 1 phosphate levels in patients with and without coronary collateral circulation.

methodsA total of 140 patients were included (70 with coronary collateral circulation and 70 with normal coronary arteries and stable coronary artery disease without collaterals). Rentrop collateral grade and the number of coronary arteries with collateral circulation were recorded.

resultsSerum sphingosine 1 phosphate levels were higher in the collateral group than in the control group [186.6 (142.3-243.5) μg/l vs. 128.5 (105.0-161.6) μg/l, p < 0.001]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of multivessel disease, high serum sphingosine 1 phosphate levels and previous history of P2Y12 use were independent predictors of coronary collateral circulation. Median sphingosine 1 phosphate levels in different Rentrop grades in the collateral group were similar, and there was no significant difference in median serum sphingosine 1 phosphate level with a higher number of coronary arteries with collateral circulation.

conclusionsOur findings demonstrated higher levels of sphingosine 1 phosphate in the patients with coronary collateral circulation.
