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

Recent studies have shown low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and dysregulated lipid metabolism in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is the major protein component of HDL-C and mediates most of its functions. We hypothesize that ApoA-1 and its oxidative state might be more sensitive biomarkers in CTEPH. Plasma levels of HDL-C, ApoA-I, paraoxonase-1 enzyme activity (PON1), and the oxidized dysfunctional ApoA-I (oxTrp72-ApoA-I) were measured in patients with CTEPH and compared to those in healthy controls. Association with markers of disease severity in CTEPH was assessed. We included a total of 61 patients with CTEPH (age: 61.2 ± 15 years; male 52.5%) and 28 control subjects (age: 60.1 ± 8 years; male 59.3%). When adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, and statin use, ApoA-I was lower in CTEPH compared to controls (CTEPH:125.2 ± 27 mg/dl; control:158.3 ± 29.4 mg/dl;
