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

Patients with coronary artery disease remain at increased risk of recurrent life-threatening cardiovascular events even after adequate guideline-based treatment of conventional risk factors, including blood lipid levels. Inflammation is a critical pathway in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and is independently associated with risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. Leukotrienes are potent pro-inflammatory and vasoactive mediators synthesized by leukocytes in atherosclerotic lesions. AZD5718 is a novel antagonist of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein that suppresses leukotriene biosynthesis. FLAVOUR is a phase IIa efficacy and safety study of AZD5718 in patients with myocardial infarction 1-4 weeks before randomization. Stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery after percutaneous intervention must be <50%, and Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow grade must be ≥ 2. Enrolled participants receive standard care plus oral AZD5718 200 mg, 50 mg, or placebo once daily for up to 12 weeks (extended from 4 weeks by protocol amendment). The planned sample size is 100 participants randomized to 12 weeks' treatment. Change in urine leukotriene E
