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

Heart failure (HF) screening strategies require biomarkers to predict disease manifestation to aid HF surveillance and management programmes. The aim of this study was to validate a previous proteomics discovery programme that identified Tetranectin as a potential HF biomarker candidate based on expression level changes in asymptomatic patients at future risk for HF development. The initial study consisted of 132 patients, comprising of HF (n = 40), no-HF controls (n = 60), and cardiac surgery patients (n = 32). Serum samples were quantified for circulating levels of Tetranectin and a panel of circulating fibro-inflammatory markers. Cardiac tissue served as a resource to investigate the relationship between cardiac Tetranectin levels and fibrosis and inflammation within the myocardium. An independent cohort of 224 patients with or without HF was used to validate serum Tetranectin levels. Results show that circulating Tetranectin levels are significantly reduced in HF patients (p < 0.0001), and are associated with HF more closely than B-type natriuretic peptide (AUC = 0.97 versus 0.84, p = 0.011). Serum Tetranectin negatively correlated with circulating fibrosis markers, whereas cardiac tissue Tetranectin correlated positively with fibrotic genes and protein within the myocardium. In conclusion, we report for the first time that Tetranectin is a promising HF biomarker candidate linked with fibrotic processes within the myocardium.
