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

backgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) poses a serious threat to human health. Research shows that ABO blood groups, especially non-O blood types, are closely related to the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This study aimed to determine the associations of blood types with non-culprit coronary plaque characteristics using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

methodsA total of 257 acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients (average age, 59.39±10.08 years, 80% male) who underwent OCT of 3 vessels were identified. Subjects were divided into 2 groups: the O blood group (71 patients with 121 plaques) and the non-O group (186 patients with 329 plaques). The non-culprit coronary plaque features of the two groups were compared using OCT.

resultsThe non-type O group had larger lipid arcs, thinner fibrous caps, and a greater number of thin-cap fibro atheromas (TCFAs). The type A, B, and AB blood groups had larger lipid arcs than the type O blood group, as well as thinner fibrous caps and more TCFAs. The type A blood group had thinner fibrous caps and a greater number of TCFAs than the type B and AB blood groups.

conclusionsACS patients with type non-O blood had more non-culprit plaques. Patients with type A blood, in particular, had more vulnerable characteristics than those with type O blood.
