Clinical significance of sFRP5, RBP-4 and NT-proBNP in patients with chronic heart failure.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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 designed to investigate the levels and clinical significance of secretory frizzled-related protein 5 (sFRP5), retinol binding protein 4 (RBP-4) and N-terminal (NT)-pro hormone BNP (NT-proBNP) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).
methodsEighty-nine patients with CHF treated in our hospital were included as the observation group. Seventy-five healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination in our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. The subjects in the observation group were divided into NYHA class II (n=23), NYHA class III (n=34) and NYHA class IV (n=32) according to NYHA classification, and the levels of sFRP5, RBP-4 and NT-proBNP as well as left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were compared in the three groups. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the relationship between sFRP5, RBP-4, NT-proBNP and LVEDD, LVEF. The ROC curves of sFRP5, RBP-4 and NT-proBNP for the diagnosis of CHF were plotted. Patients in the observation group were divided into a death group (n=30) and a survival group (n=59) according to the 1-year follow-up outcome, and the levels of sFRP5, RBP-4, and NT-proBNP were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe observation group showed significantly higher levels of sFRP5, RBP-4, NT-proBNP and LVEDD, and a significantly lower level of LVEF than the control group. Spearman's correlation analysis showed that sFRP5, RBP-4, NT-proBNP were correlated with LVEDD and LVEF in CHF patients (
conclusionsFRP5, RBP-4, and NT-proBNP showed a close correlation with CHF. It is worthy of using this method as a clinical index for the diagnosis and prognosis of CHF.
