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

backgroundInflammation poses dual effects after myocardial infarction, but robust evidence shows that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), as an inflammatory marker, is constantly associated with worse outcomes. This study is aimed at investigating the probable nonlinear association between postprocedural hsCRP and mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

methodsA total of 3940 consecutive ACS patients treated by PCI with postprocedural hsCRP measurements were retrospectively recruited. Patients were stratified into 5 groups according to quintiles of hsCRP. Cox regression with adjustments for multiple covariates was used for outcome analysis. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was used to allow possible nonlinear associations. The primary outcome was all-cause death.

resultsDuring a median follow-up of 727 days, mortality occurred in 207 (5.3%) patients. Adjusted hazard ratio (HR) was higher in the lowest (<2.26 mg/L, HR: 1.90, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08-3.33;

conclusionsBoth low and high postprocedural hsCRP were associated with higher risk of death in ACS patients treated by PCI.
