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

The effects of angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl 2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in inflammatory mediators on the severity of coronary arterial lesion in patients with acute myocardial infarction were investigated. One hundred and twenty-six patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to Tianjin Union Medical Center (the myocardial infarction group) and 133 healthy individuals (the control group) were selected for retrospective analysis from January 2013 to December 2015. The levels of Angptl 2 and IL-6 in serum of patients were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the correlation analysis between the levels and the degree of coronary stenosis in patients with myocardial infarction was conducted. The expression level of Angptl 2 and IL-6 in the myocardial infarction group was significantly higher than that in the control group P<0.001. In the myocardial infarction group, the expression levels of Angptl 2 and IL-6 were the highest in the patients with severe stenosis, followed by the moderate stenosis, and the lowest in the patients with mild stenosis (P<0.050). Pearson's correlation analysis showed that Angptl 2 and IL-6 were positively correlated with the diameter of coronary stenosis (r=0.696, 0.750, P<0.001). In conclusion, both Angptl 2 and IL-6 are highly expressed in the peripheral blood of patients with acute myocardial infarction and involved in the occurrence and development of the disease. Moreover, Angptl2 and IL-6 are positively correlated with the severity of coronary arterial lesion in patients with acute myocardial infarction, and they are expected to become a target for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary atherosclerosis (CA) in the future.
