Growth differentiation factor-15 as a biomarker of coronary microvascular dysfunction in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: The predictive value of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) in coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients is unclear. Methods: This study continuously recruited STEMI patients treated with PPCI at the Chest Pain Center of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from April 2023 to December 2023. Blood samples were taken before PPCI and the level of circulating GDF-15 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the patients were divided into CMD and Control group according to angiographic microvascular resistance (AMR) (cut-off value 2.50 mmHg*s/cm). The differences in GDF-15 expression levels between the two groups were compared, and the predictive value of GDF-15 for CMD was systematically evaluated. Results: A total of 134 patients, with an average age of 59.78 ± 12.69 years and 75.37 % being male, were included in this study. Multivariable logistic regression revealed a significant association between GDF-15 and CMD (adjusted OR = 2.505, 95 % CI: 1.661-3.779, Conclusions: GDF-15 can serve as a biomarker for predicting the development of CMD in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI.
