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

Objective: Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis by disrupting key cellular processes that contribute to premature vascular ageing. However, the specific role of mitochondrial dysfunction in early-onset coronary artery disease (EOCAD), which is increasing at a particularly alarming rate, remains largely unexplored. This study investigated the association of leukocyte mtDNA-CN and mtDNA Methods: The study included 118 patients (99 men, 51.0 ± 5.6 years) with angiographically EOCAD (≤60 years) and 150 healthy controls (94 men, 49.8 ± 5.8 years). Quantitative RT-PCR was used to quantify mtDNA-CN and mtDNA Results: The EOCAD group had a higher prevalence of male gender ( Conclusions: EOCAD is characterized by a high prevalence of modifiable risk factors and mitochondrial damage, underscoring the need for more efforts to reduce the burden of traditional risk factors and highlighting the potential for innovative mitochondrial-targeted therapies.
