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

aimsThis study was aimed to determine the levels of hs-CRP, serum ferritin, and Lp(a) and to study the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in young patients (≤45 years) with and without acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

methodsThis was a cross-sectional, case-control study conducted at a tertiary care center in India. Equal number of patients with matched age and sex (

resultsThe prevalence of MetS was found to be 62.74% in case group, whereas 33.33% in control group with decreased HDL level as the most prevalent parameter. The hs-CRP level was found to be 15.35 ± 8.27 mg/dl in case group and 1.85 ± 1.05 mg/dl in control group and Lp(a) was 33.84 ± 23.69 mg/dl in case group and 19.68 ± 10.39 mg/dl in control group. No significant difference was observed in the serum ferritin level in case (264.2 ± 40.6 ng/dl) and control (225.51 ± 45.35 ng/dl) groups.

conclusionFrom this study, we can conclude that the assessment of these novel risk factors [hs-CRP, Lp(a), and MetS] may be used for the risk estimation and can help to prevent future mortality and morbidity due to CVD.
