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: Osteopontin (OPN) is regarded as a proinflammatory and proatherogenic molecule related to atherosclerosis. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum OPN and aortic stiffness (AS) of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods: OPN and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) were measured by a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit and a validated tonometry system, respectively. Patients with cfPWV > 10 m/s were designated into the AS group. Results: Twenty-two patients (31.4%) were segregated into the AS group. Multivariate linear and logistic regression analysis showed that OPN was significantly related to cfPWV and was an independent predictor of AS. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that OPN was correlated with AS with an area under the curve of 0.903 (95% CI 0.809−0.961, p < 0.001). Conclusions: For PD patients, the serum OPN level was correlated with cfPWV and could play an important role in the process of AS.
