Serum Vitamin A Is Associated with Variations in the Relationship between Plasma B6 Vitamers and Cardiovascular Disease Risk.
Trial report in The Journal of nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00354081 (A Randomised Double Blind Study of the Effects of Homocysteine Lowering Therapy on Mortality and Cardiac Events in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundLow concentrations of biologically active B6 vitamer, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Vitamin A (Vit-A) promotes lipid homeostasis and the transport cholesterol. Vit-A may also stimulate the intracellular transport of PLP.
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate whether Vit-A is associated with variations in the relationship of systemic B6-vitamers with incident acute myocardial infarctions (AMIs).
methodsA total of 4091 patients undergoing elective coronary angiography for suspected stable angina pectoris were studied. Associations of different plasma B6 vitamers, including PLP, pyridoxal (PL), 4-pyridoxic acid (PA), and PA/PL ratio with the risk of AMI according to median concentrations of Vit-A, were explored in Cox regression models.
resultsSerum Vit-A demonstrated positive associations with PLP and PA/PL ratio at baseline (P < 0.001 for both). During a median follow-up of 7.5 y, 521 (12.7%) patients suffered an AMI. In age and sex-adjusted analyses, plasma PLP, PA, and PA/PL ratio showed an overall association with incident AMI {hazard ratio (HR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] per SD: 0.90 [0.82, 0.99; P = 0.02], 1.14 [1.05, 1.23; P < 0.001], and 1.28 [1.18, 1.39; P < 0.001], respectively}. However, low plasma PLP and high PA/PL ratio were associated with an increased risk of AMI primarily among patients with high compared with low Vit-A concentrations [HR (95% CI) per SD: 0.77 (0.68, 0.88; P < 0.001, P-interaction = 0.002) and 1.36 (1.23, 1.49; P < 0.001, P-interaction = 0.05), respectively]. The interactions persisted after multivariable adjustment (both P-interactions ≤ 0.04).
conclusionsThe relationship between vitamin B6 indexes and AMI risk varied according to serum Vit-A concentrations. Additional research is needed to clarify the importance of Vit-A and B6 bioavailability in atherosclerotic CVD. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00354081.
