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: In recent years, novel cardiometabolic biomarkers and related pathogenic genes and their heritability have been examined. However, no multitarget predictive evaluation models exist can identify and predict complex lesions in unstable angina (UA) in the early stages before coronary angiography (CAG) or evaluate the prognosis of patients with UA and complex lesions. In this study, we sought to investigate the correlation between blood lipid, glucose, and inflammatory indices and the occurrence and prognosis of UA with complex lesions, and also the risk factors for major adverse cardiocerebrovascular events (MACCEs). Methods: Patients with UA who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at Chaoyang Hospital between March 2019 and December 2020 were included. Patients with UA who underwent PCI were divided into complex lesion group and noncomplex lesion group according to the CAG results. The blood lipid and glucose levels, inflammatory indices, Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) scores, and clinical outcome events after 3 years follow-up from both groups were calculated. Results: A total of 523 patients were included, with 248 and 275 patients in the complex and noncomplex lesion groups, respectively. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of sex, age, medical history, or demographic characteristics. After 3 years of follow-up, compared with the noncomplex lesion group, the complex lesion group had a higher incidence of target vessel revascularization (TVR) (8.1% Conclusions: Blood lipid and glucose levels and inflammatory indices may be associated with the occurrence of UA with complex lesions. The new model for UA with complex lesions constructed using high RLP-C level, high sLDL-C level, high Lp(a) level, and high NLR level had a stronger ability to predicts MACCEs during follow-up than did the SYNTAX score. Our findings could enhance early detection of patients with UA and complex lesions, potentially improving prevention and treatment strategies for perioperative UA-PCI patients.
