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

It is estimated that 200 million people are living with coronary heart disease, which remains one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Those living with coronary heart disease are at an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death. Pathophysiology of coronary heart disease revolves around inflammation which leads to plaque build-up. Antibiotics are known to hold anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. It is theorized that reductions in inflammation could prevent cardiovascular events which may reduce suffering, risk of death and hospital admission rates in patients with coronary heart disease. This article critically appraises a systematic review that assessed the risk of antibiotics used as secondary prevention for coronary heart disease.
