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

There are limited tools available to predict the long-term prognosis of persons with coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO). A previously described blood biomarker panel to predict cardiovascular (CV) events was evaluated in patients with CTO. From 1,251 patients in the CASABLANCA study, 241 participants with a CTO were followed for an average of 4 years for occurrence of major adverse CV events (MACE, CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction or stroke) and CV death/heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Results of a biomarker panel (kidney injury molecule-1, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, osteopontin, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1) from baseline samples were expressed as low-, medium-, and high-risk. By 4 years, a total of 67 (27.8%) MACE and 56 (23.2%) CV death/HF hospitalization events occurred. The C-statistic of the panel for MACE through 4 years was 0.79 (p < 0.001). Considering the low-risk group as referent, the hazard ratio (HR) of MACE by 4 years was 6.65 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.98 to 14.8) and 12.4 (95% CI:5.17 to 29.6) for the medium and high-risk groups (both p < 0.001). The C-statistic for CVD/HF hospitalization by 4 years was 0.84 (p < 0.001). Compared to the low-risk score group, the medium and high-risk groups had HR of 5.61 (95% CI: 2.33 to 13.5) and 15.6 (95% CI: 6.18, 39.2; both p value <0.001). In conclusion, a multiple biomarker panel assisted in discriminating a broad range of risk for adverse outcomes in patients with coronary CTO. These results may have implications for risk stratification, patient care and could have a role for clinical trial enrichment.
