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

backgroundACS (acute coronary syndrome), a subgroup of coronary artery disease (CHD), is a leading cause of death worldwide. Reports shown the association between methylation and CHD, while the abnormal expression of C1QTNF1 (C1q and tumor necrosis factor related protein 1) in CHD patients, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear.

objectiveTo analyze the methylation of CpG sites of C1QTNF1 in ACS patients.

methodsPeripheral blood samples were collected from healthy controls and ACS patients. The methylation of total C1QTNF1, promoter sequence and CpG sites of C1QTNF1 were measured using methylation detection kits. The outcomes were compared between patients and controls based on gender, clinical classification and clinical stages.

resultsThe promoter sequences from 37 ACS patients and 20 controls indicate that the methylation rate of C1QTNF1 was significantly lower in male patients compared to healthy controls at + 63 CpG sites (p = 0.03). Whereas, the methylation rate of C1QTNF1 in female patients was significantly lower than female health controls at - 89, + 39 and + 167 CpG sites (p = 0.021, 0.042, 0.021). In addition, the methylation rate of C1QTNF1 was significantly higher in male patients than female patients at - 89, - 41 and + 39 CpG sites (p = 0.011, 0.043, 0.006). Moreover, the methylation rate significantly decreased at - 24 sites (p = 0.021), but it significantly increased at - 14 site (p = 0.048) in patients with UA, compared to patients with STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction).

conclusionsThere were significant differences in the methylation rate + 63 CpG sites between controls and male ACS patients. The - 14 site methylation increased in patients with UA, compared to patients with STEMI.
