Challenges of applying circulating biomarkers for abdominal aortic aneurysm progression.

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.
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
As a prevalent potentially life-threatening condition, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) presents increasing risk of rupture as its diameter grows. However, rapid progression and rupture may occasionally occur in smaller AAAs. Earlier surgery for patients with high risk of disease progression may improve the outcome. Therefore, more precise indicators for invasive treatment in addition to diameter and abdominal symptoms are demanded. This systematic review aimed to identify potential circulating biomarkers that may predict growth rate of AAA. Cochrane and PubMed library were searched (until August 2020) for researches which reported circulating biomarkers associated with AAA expansion, and 25 papers were included. Twenty-eight identified biomarkers were further classified into five categories (inflammation and oxidative stress, matrix degradation, hematology and lipid metabolism, thrombosis and fibrinolysis, and others), and discussed further with their correlation and regression analysis results. Larger prospective trials are required to establish and evaluate prognostic models with highest values with these markers.
