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

objectiveThis study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of using the serum homocysteine (Hcy), C-reactive protein (CRP), and cystatin C (Cys-C) levels to evaluate the conditions and prognoses of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.

methodsOne hundred and twenty patients with AMI were enrolled as an observation group (the AMI group). Eighty patients with stable angina pectoris were included in a control group (the SA group). Eighty healthy volunteers were enrolled as a healthy control group (the NCHD group). The AMI patients were divided into groups of >20 (n = 32), 10-20 (n = 45) and <10 (n = 43) according to their APACHE-II scores. The groups were divided into a death group (n = 23) and a survival group (n = 97) according to the patients' 1-year follow-up outcomes. The differences in the serum Hcy, CRP, and Cys-C levels among the different groups, and the correlations between the serum levels were calculated.

resultsThe serum Hcy, CRP, and Cys-C levels in the AMI group were significantly higher than they were in the SA and NCHD groups (

conclusionSerum Hcy, CRP, and Cys-C levels can reflect the severity of the patients' conditions.
