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 aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of following biomarkers as diagnostic tools and risk predictors of AAA: C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, pentraxin-3, galectin-3, procollagen type III N-terminal peptide, C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, high-sensitive troponin I, and brain natriuretic peptide. Seventy-two patients with an AAA and 100 healthy individuals were enrolled into the study. We assessed individual biomarker performance and correlation between the AAA diameter and biomarker levels, and also, a multivariate logistic regression was used to design a possible predictive model of AAA growth and rupture risk. We identified following four parameters with the highest potential to find a useful place in AAA diagnostics: galectin-3, pentraxin-3, interleukin-6, and C-terminal telopeptide of type I. The best biomarkers in our evaluation (galectin-3 and pentraxin-3) were AAA diameter-independent. With the high AUC and AAA diameter correlation, the high-sensitive troponin I can be used as an independent prognostic biomarker of the upcoming heart complications in AAA patients. Authors recommend to add biomarkers as additional parameters to the current AAA patient management. Main addition value of biomarkers is in the assessment of the AAA with the smaller diameter. Elevated biomarkers can change the treatment decision, which would be done only based on AAA diameter size. The best way how to manage the AAA patients is to create a reliable predictive model of AAA growth and rupture risk. A created multiparameter model gives very promising results with the significantly higher efficiency compared with the use of the individual biomarkers.
