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

Platelet functions are thought to contribute to clinical outcomes after heart surgery. This study was conducted to assess the pivotal roles of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and microRNA-126 (miR-126) during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Whole blood was collected for platelet isolation from 67 patients who underwent CABG surgery between July 2013 and March 2014. VEGF-A and miR-126 levels in serum, plasma, and platelets were measured at various time points and compared with clinical characteristics. The platelet count was decreased at 3 days after CABG. This dynamic change in platelet count was larger after conventional coronary artery bypass (CCAB) than off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB). VEGF-A in the same number of platelets (IP-VEGF-A) was increased at 3 days after CABG, followed by an increase of VEGF-A in serum (S-VEGF-A) at 7 days after surgery. The miR-126-3p level in serum (S-miR-126-3p) increased rapidly after CABG and then decreased below preoperative levels. The IP-VEGF-A level on day 7 after CABG in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), who suffered from endothelial dysfunction, was higher compared with patients without PAD. Conversely, S-miR-126-3p on day 7 after surgery was lower in patients with PAD than in patients without PAD. Low levels of S-miR-126-3p due to endothelial dysfunction may lead to high IP-VEGF-A, which is closely related to complications after CABG.
