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

objectiveHigh Vitamin D serum level after acute myocardial infarction (aMI) has shown to increase cardiac reconstruction by increasing cell survival and enhancing angiogenesis. Atorvastatin has a well-defined role in both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. It is suggested that this effect may partly be attributable to raising 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations. The aim of this study was to evaluate atorvastatin effects on Vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels early after aMI.

methodsAll patients admitted with aMI in Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, from July 2014 to March 2015, were included in this pre- and postintervention study. Serum levels of Vitamin D and PTH were measured on admission and the 3

findingsA total of 69 post-aMI patients (47 males and 22 females) were enrolled in this study. Serum levels of Vitamin D and PTH were significantly higher (23.52 ng/ml and 46.04 pg/ml, respectively) after 72 h of atorvastatin therapy compared to the baseline (19.66 ng/ml and 31.19 pg/ml, respectively) (

conclusionThe early post-aMI beneficial effects of atorvastatin can be attributed to increased serum Vitamin D level; however, atorvastatin cannot significantly decrease serum PTH level after aMI. Further studies are needed to elucidate the clinical effect of atorvastatin.
