Overexpression of scavenger receptor and infiltration of macrophage in epicardial adipose tissue of patients with ischemic heart disease and diabetes.
Article in Journal of translational medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundOxidized low-density lipoproteins and scavenger receptors (SRs) play an important role in the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaques. However, little is known about their presence in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT). The objective of the study was to evaluate the mRNA expression of different SRs in EAT of patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD), stratifying by diabetes status and its association with clinical and biochemical variables.
methodsWe analyzed the mRNA expression of SRs (LOX-1, MSR1, CXCL16, CD36 and CL-P1) and macrophage markers (CD68, CD11c and CD206) in EAT from 45 patients with IHD (23 with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 22 without T2DM) and 23 controls without IHD or T2DM.
resultsLOX-1, CL-P1, CD68 and CD11c mRNA expression were significantly higher in diabetic patients with IHD when compared with those without T2DM and control patients. MSR1, CXCL16, CD36 and CD206 showed no significant differences. In IHD patients, LOX-1 (OR 2.9; 95% CI 1.6-6.7; P = 0.019) and CD68 mRNA expression (OR 1.7; 95% CI 0.98-4.5; P = 0.049) were identified as independent risk factors associated with T2DM. Glucose and glycated hemoglobin were also shown to be risk factors.
conclusionsSRs mRNA expression is found in EAT. LOX-1 and CD68 and were higher in IHD patients with T2DM and were identified as a cardiovascular risk factor of T2DM. This study suggests the importance of EAT in coronary atherosclerosis among patients with T2DM.
