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

backgroundThe bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common cardiac congenital disease and is associated with an increased risk of developing ascending aorta dilation; which can have fatal consequences. Currently; no established risk biomarkers exist to facilitate the diagnosis and prognosis of BAV.

methodsUsing an untargeted metabolomic approach; we identified the levels of metabolites in plasma samples and compared them depending on the bicuspid or tricuspid morphology of the aortic valve. Including those patients with ascending aortic dilation and/or aortic stenosis (

resultsWe found that BAV patients; especially those with ascending aortic dilation; presented lower antioxidant capacity; as determined by decreased plasma levels of alpha-Tocopherol; paraoxonase 1 and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), as well as increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP; a biomarker of inflammation) and endothelial microparticles (EMPs; an endothelial damage biomarker). By applying random forest analyses; we evaluated the significant screening capacity of alpha-Tocopherol; CRP and EMPs to classify patients depending on the morphology of the aortic valve. DISCUSSION: Our findings support the role of decreased antioxidant capacity; increased inflammation and endothelial damage in the pathogenesis of BAV and the progression of aortic dilation. Moreover; determining the plasma levels of alpha-Tocopherol; CRP and EMPs could improve BAV diagnosis in large populations.
