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

Atherosclerosis and one of its most serious consequences, coronary artery disease, are important sources of morbidity and mortality globally, necessitating early detection and treatment. Considering their complex pathophysiology, including several harmful processes, a comprehensive approach to diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy is very desirable. Extracellular matrix remodeling is a major component of this dangerous cascade, including the cleavage of constituents (collagen, elastin, proteoglycans) and the propagation or exacerbation of the inflammatory response. Several extracellular matrix degradation indicators have been hypothesized to correlate with the existence, severity, and prognosis of coronary artery disease. The potency of matrix metalloproteinases, notably collagenases and gelatinases, has been the most thoroughly investigated in clinical studies. Stromelysins, matrilysins, transmembrane matrix metalloproteinases, collagen and laminin turnover indicators, as well as fibronectin, have also been studied to a lesser level. Among the most well-studied markers, MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8, and MMP-9 have been found increased in patients with cardiovascular risk factors such as metabolic syndrome, its components (obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus), and smoking. Increasing concentrations are detected in acute coronary syndromes compared to stable angina pectoris and healthy control groups. It should also be stressed that those extracellular matrix biomarkers may also be detected in high concentrations in other vascular pathologies such as peripheral artery disease, carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysms, and dissections. Despite the advances gained, future research should focus on their importance and, more crucially, their added utility as biomarkers in identifying persons at risk of developing overt coronary artery disease. At the same time, determining the prognosis of coronary artery disease patients using such biomarkers may be important for their adequate care.
