Review in Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07647549 (Pulmonary Hypertension), which is not on this map. Cited by 49 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Release of cell free DNA (cfDNA) from damaged or dead cells routinely occurs in normal physiology. Recently, cfDNA has emerged as an essential biomarker in cardiovascular disease (CVD) of potential prognostic and diagnostic significance. Within the last decade, significant research efforts have been devoted to uncovering the mechanisms mediating cfDNA release and its outcome-predicting ability. The current review focuses on the pathways for cfDNA release in myocardial infarction, heart failure and hypertension, and discusses implementation of cfDNA monitoring to assess the overall development of these disease states and predict future complications.
