Association of IL-10 and CRP with Pulse Wave Velocity in Patients with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

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
backgroundMarkers of inflammation and arterial stiffness are predictors of cardiovascular morbidity and events, but their roles in the mechanisms and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in males have not been fully investigated. This study explored possible associations between inflammatory marker levels and arterial stiffness in males with AAA.
methodsA total of 270 males (191 AAA and 79 controls) were included in the study. Arterial stiffness was assessed using non-invasive applanation tonometry to measure the regional pulse wave velocity between the carotid and femoral arteries and the carotid and radial arteries. Blood samples were obtained, and interleukin-10 (IL-10) and CRP levels were analysed.
resultsSubjects with an AAA had higher levels of IL-10 (21.5 ± 14.0 ng/mL versus 16.6 ± 9.3 ng/mL) compared to controls (
conclusionArterial stiffness is related to the degree of inflammation reflected by CRP and IL-10 levels in males with an AAA. IL-10 is negatively correlated with arterial stiffness in these subjects. This finding suggests that IL-10 may decrease arterial stiffness in males with AAA. The negative correlation between CRP and PWVcf in males with T2DM treated with metformin may indicate that metformin influences the arterial wall to decrease stiffness in subjects with AAA.
