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: Recent researches highlight the interdependence of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and Lp(a)-associated cardiovascular risk with the background inflammatory burden. This study aimed to investigate whether systemic inflammation modulates Lp(a)-associated coronary stenosis in chronic coronary syndromes (CCS). Methods: A total of 1513 participants undergoing angiography at a tertiary cardiology center in China were included in our retrospective, cross-sectional study. Participants were categorized into normal, mild, and severe groups based on the Gensini Scores, which quantitatively assess stenosis severity. Multinomial logistic models were calculated according to accompanying systemic inflammation concentration. Results: Participants with elevated Lp(a) levels had a high coronary stenosis risk: fully adjusted model odds ratios (ORs) [95% confidence intervals (CIs)] for the mild vs. normal and severe vs. normal groups were 1.47 (1.11-1.96) and 1.68 (1.21-2.33). Notably, the strongest Lp(a)-coronary stenosis associations after multi-variable adjustment persisted only in low inflammation concentration [systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) < 0.64)] [mild vs. normal, OR 2.03, 95% CI 1.17-3.54, Conclusions: Elevated Lp(a) correlates with coronary stenosis only in low inflammation concentration. Considering systemic inflammation in personalized Lp(a)-lowering therapies is more conducive for CCS managements.
