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

aimsTo explore the associations between serum phenylacetylglutamine (PAGln) and chronic heart failure (HF). METHODS AND

resultsTotally 956 subjects were enrolled consecutively from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Ruijin Hospital. Baseline data were obtained from all participants, and 471 stable chronic HF subjects were followed up. Serum PAGln was analysed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The association between PAGln and basic renal indicators was assessed by simple correlation analysis. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to measure the association between PAGln and HF risk. Event-free survival was determined by Kaplan-Meier curves, and differences in survival were assessed using log-rank tests. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to assess the prognostic value of PAGln in HF. Serum PAGln levels were increased in patients with chronic HF (3.322 ± 8.220 μM vs. 1.249 ± 1.168 μM, P < 0.001) and were associated with HF after full adjustment [odds ratio (OR), 1.507; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.213-1.873; P < 0.001]. PAGln levels were correlated with the levels of basic renal indicators. High PAGln levels indicated a high risk of renal dysfunction in HF (OR: 1.853; 95% CI: 1.344-2.556; P < 0.001), and elevated PAGln levels were associated with a high risk of cardiovascular death in patients with chronic HF (HR: 2.049; 95% CI: 1.042-4.029; P = 0.038).

conclusionsElevated PAGln levels are an independent risk factor for HF and are associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular death. High PAGln levels could indicate renal dysfunction in HF patients. PAGln can be a valuable indicator of HF.
