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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveThe neuropeptide vasoactive intestinal peptide is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide that has been shown to stimulate bone repair and angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential role of serum VIP concentration in osteonecrosis of femoral trauma (ONFH).

methodsOne hundred five patients diagnosed with non-traumatic ONFH and 103 healthy individuals were enrolled in our study. Serum VIP, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interluekin-1 beta (IL-1β), and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) levels also were detected using the commercial ELISA kit. Radiographic progression was evaluated using FICAT classification. The clinical severity of ONFH was assessed by visual analog score (VAS) and Harris Hip Score (HHS). Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed to test the potential diagnostic value of VIP in radiographic progression.

resultsThe serum VIP level of patients with non-traumatic ONFH was significantly lower than that of healthy controls. There was no significant difference between the alcohol group, the steroid-induction group, and the idiopathic group. Serum VIP levels were significantly higher in ONFH patients with femoral head pre-collapse stage than collapse stage. Serum VIP levels were significantly lower. FICAT 4 non-traumatic ONFH patients had significantly lower serum concentrations of VIP when compared with FICAT 3 and FICAT 2. Moreover, serum VIP levels were significantly lower in ONFH patients with FICAT 3 than FICAT 2. Serum VIP levels were negatively related to FICAT stage. In addition, serum VIP levels were negatively associated with VAS score and positively associated with HHS score. Last, we found serum VIP levels were negatively associated with serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels. ROC curve analysis indicated that decreased serum VIP could serve as a decent biomarker with regard to the diagnosis of radiographic progression.

conclusionAttenuated serum VIP concentrations are correlated with disease severity of non-traumatic ONFH. Decreased serum VIP may serve as a potential indicator of non-traumatic ONFH.
