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 AND

aimsCurrent research has suggested that asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) is involved in cholesterol metabolism and is also related to systemic inflammation. This study aimed to assess the correlation between the serum soluble ASGR1 (sASGR1) concentration and inflammatory marker levels. Moreover, the second objective of the study was to assess the association between sASGR1 levels and the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD).

methodsThe study subjects included 160 patients who underwent coronary angiography. Ninety patients were diagnosed with CAD, while seventy age- and sex-matched non-CAD patients served as controls. We measured the serum sASGR1 levels using an ELISA kit after collecting clinical baseline characteristics.

resultsPatients with CAD had higher serum sASGR1 levels than non-CAD patients did (P < 0.0001). sASGR1 was independently correlated with the risk of CAD after adjusting for confounding variables (OR = 1.522, P = 0.012). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that sASGR1 had a larger area under the curve (AUC) than did the conventional biomarkers apolipoprotein B (APO-B) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). In addition, multivariate linear regression models revealed that sASGR1 is independently and positively correlated with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) (β = 0.86, P < 0.001) and WBC (β = 0.13, P = 0.004) counts even after adjusting for lipid parameters. According to our subgroup analysis, this relationship existed only for CAD patients.

conclusionOur research demonstrated the link between CAD and sASGR1 levels, suggesting that sASGR1 may be an independent risk factor for CAD. In addition, this study provides a reference for revealing the potential role of sASGR1 in the inflammation of atherosclerosis.
