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

T helper (Th) and regulatory T (Treg) cells regulate atherosclerosis, plaque, inflammation to involve in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The current study aimed to investigate the clinical implications of Th and Treg cells in ACS patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Blood Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cells were detected in 160 ACS patients before PCI, after PCI, at 1 month (M). Short physical performance battery (SPPB) at M1/M3 and major adverse cardiac event (MACE) during follow-ups were evaluated. Th1 and Th17 both showed upward trends during PCI, then greatly declined at M1 (P < 0.001). Th2 exhibited an upward trend during PCI but decreased slightly at M1 (P < 0.001). Treg remained stable during PCI but elevated at M1 (P < 0.001). Moreover, a positive correlation between Th1 and Th17, a negative correlation between Th17 and Treg, were discovered at several timepoints (most P < 0.050). Interestingly, the receiver operating curve (ROC) analyses revealed that Th1 [area under curve (AUC) between 0.633-0.645] and Th17 (AUC between 0.626-0.699) exhibited values estimating SPPB score <= 6 points at M1 or M3 to some extent. Importantly, Th1 (AUC between 0.708-0.710), Th17 (AUC between 0.694-0.783), and Treg (AUC between 0.706-0.729) predicted MACE risk. Multivariate models involving Th and Treg cells along with other characteristics revealed acceptable values estimating SPPB score <= 6 points at M1 or M3 (AUC between 0.690-0.813), and good values predicting MACE risk (AUC between 0.830-0.971). Dynamic variations in Th and Treg cells can predict the prognosis of ACS patients receiving PCI.
