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: To investigate the relationship between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and the longitudinal changes in arterial Arteriosclerosis over time. Methods: Using a prospective cohort study design, 25,336 participants from the Kailuan study cohort, who had completed at least two baPWV measurements and met the inclusion criteria, included in the analysis. Participants were divided into three groups based on baseline hs-CRP levels: hs-CRP<1 mg/L, 1 mg/L≤hs-CRP≤3 mg/L, and hs-CRP >3 mg/L. The relationship between hs-CRP and the longitudinal changes in baPWV was analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model. Results: (1) The average follow-up duration was 4.62 ± 2.86 years. At the end of the follow-up, the baPWV of the three groups:hs-CRP < 1 mg/L (n=11,651), 1 mg/L ≤ hs-CRP ≤ 3 mg/L (n=9,369), and hs-CRP > 3 mg/L (n=4,316) increased over time. The average rate of increase in baPWV was 84.26 cm/s, 88.06 cm/s, and 73.92 cm/s, respectively. (2) The linear mixed-effects model analysis of factors affecting the progression of Arteriosclerosis, after adjusting for confounding factors, showed that compared to the hsCRP_1 group, the baPWV increase rate in the hsCRP_2 and hsCRP_3 groups was progressively higher. The effect Estimate were 14.4 cm/s (95% CI 6.54 to 22.34, Conclusion: There is a significant "dose-response" relationship between hs-CRP and the longitudinal progression of Arteriosclerosis, with a more pronounced effect observed in the male population.
