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

Ceramides play a crucial role in atherosclerosis progression and have been linked to cardiovascular events. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between serum ceramide levels and Acute coronary syndrome, as well as evaluate their potential for predicting ACS in Chinese population. Data of 1327 patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease from Beijing anzhen Hospital and Handan First hospital were collected. Plasma ceramide were measured using the LC-MS/MS system. The area under the ROC curve was used to screen the most valuable predictor. Distinctive ACS-related variables were screened out using Boruta and LASSO regression. Multivariate Logistic models and restricted cubic spline analysis were conducted to examine the associations between Ceramide and ACS. Cer (d18:1/14:0), Cer (d18:1/16:0), Cer (d18:1/18:0), Cer (d18:1/20:0), Cer (d18:1/22:0), and Cer (d18:1/24:0) were significantly elevated in the ACS group. Diagnostic performance assessments showed that Cer(d18:1/16:0) had superior accuracy in detecting ACS compared to other ceramides tested. The Boruta algorithm identified 8 significant variables related to ACS. Cer(d18:1/16:0) associated with ACS were discovered using the LASSO logistic regression technique. Multivariate logistic regression models further supported the relationship between Cer(d18:1/16:0) and ACS. Additionally, a significant nonlinear relationship was observed between Cer(d18:1/16:0) and ACS, with a threshold of 150umol/L. The study found that ceramides, particularly Cer(d18:1/16:0), were significantly associated with ACS and could be a potential biomarker for predicting and diagnosing ACS in Chinese populations experiencing chest pain.
