Profiling the Effect of Micronutrient Levels on Vital Cardiovascular Markers.

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
Introduction Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of mortality globally. The role of micronutrients in maintaining cardiovascular health has gained increasing attention, as deficiencies or imbalances in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids may influence the risk and progression of CVDs. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum micronutrient levels and critical lipid and lipoprotein markers indicative of cardiovascular health. Materials and methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 358 individuals who underwent testing for the Cardio Health and Micronutrients Panel at Vibrant America Clinical Laboratory. The participants were divided into three groups based on their serum lipid and lipoprotein concentrations: 'Low', 'Normal', and 'High'. The levels of vitamins (A, D, E, and K), minerals (zinc, iron, calcium, and magnesium), and amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) were measured, and their correlation with cardiovascular markers such as cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and Apo B was analyzed using Pearson's correlation. Results The study found significant associations between micronutrient levels and cardiovascular markers. Vitamins D, E, and K and minerals like zinc, calcium, and magnesium showed positive correlations with lipid markers. Asparagine was negatively correlated with cholesterol and LDL, while amino acids such as isoleucine and valine negatively correlated with HDL but showed a positive association with LDL and Apo B. Fat-soluble vitamins demonstrated strong positive associations with total cholesterol and triglycerides. Conclusion These findings suggest that certain micronutrients play a critical role in regulating lipid profiles and overall cardiovascular health. Further studies are necessary to explore the therapeutic potential of micronutrient supplementation in preventing or managing CVDs.
