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

Lamins are important filaments forming the inner nuclear membrane. Lamin A is processed by zinc metalloproteinase (ZMPSTE24). Failure to cleave a truncated form of prelamin A-also called progerin-causes Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome a well-known premature aging disease. Minor levels of progerin are readily expressed in the blood of healthy individuals due to alternative splicing. Previously, we found an association of increased progerin mRNA with overweight and chronic inflammation (hs-CRP). Here, we aimed to elucidate correlations of ZMPSTE24, lamin A/C and progerin with the inflammatory marker hs-CRP. In this retrospective, cross-sectional study we analyzed blood samples from 110 heart failure patients for quantitative mRNA expression of ZMPSTE24, lamin A/C, progerin and hs-CRP protein. Spearman correlations and linear regression analyses including adjustments for age, gender and ejection fraction showed a significant positive correlation of lnprogerin with lnZMPSTE24 (n = 110; r = 0.33;
