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

backgroundPeripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects more than 150 million people worldwide and is associated with high rates of lower extremity amputation, myocardial infarction, stroke and death. Fatty acid binding protein 3 (FABP3) is released into circulation in patients with skeletal muscle injury. In this pilot study, we investigated a possible association between PAD and blood levels of FABP3.

methodsBlood samples were collected from patients with clinical symptoms and diagnostic findings indicative of PAD (PAD group; ankle-brachial index [ABI] <0.9; n = 75) and in those without clinical or diagnostic features of PAD (non-PAD group; ABI >0.9; n = 75) presenting to vascular surgery ambulatory clinics at St. Michael's Hospital. Plasma samples were analyzed by protein multiplex to quantify FABP3 levels.

resultsPAD patients were found to have higher blood levels of FABP3 compared to patients without PAD (mean 3.90 ± 1.69 vs 2.03 ± 0.78;

conclusionsPatients with PAD have elevated plasma levels of FABP3. An increasing severity of PAD is associated with higher FABP3 levels.
