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 heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) account for ~50% of all cases of heart failure and their clinical prognosis is poor. The present study attempted to investigate the diagnostic value of circulating long non-coding RNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) for HFPEF in subjects with hypertension. Between January 2017 and January 2019, 80 aged/elderly hypertensive patients with or without HFPEF were recruited for the present study. The concentration of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the serum was measured using ELISA and TUG1 expression levels were determined using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Echocardiography was used for the determination of cardiac function. The results indicated that the levels of NT-proBNP and TUG1 were increased in the serum of hypertensive patients with HFPEF. Pearson analysis demonstrated that NT-proBNP and TUG1 were positively correlated with the left atrial diameter and negatively correlated with the ratio of the peak flow velocity in the early diastolic phase to the peak flow velocity in the late diastolic phase. In addition, a positive correlation was confirmed between TUG1 and NT-proBNP levels. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that TUG1 and NT-proBNP were useful biomarkers for the diagnosis of HFPEF. In conclusion, it was observed that NT-proBNP and TUG1 were increased in the serum of hypertensive patients with HFPEF. Furthermore, TUG1 and NT-proBNP were indicated to be useful plasma biomarkers for the diagnosis of HFPEF.
