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 and aims: Serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, whether hypertension modifies the association between Lp(a) and adverse outcomes in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remains unclear. We investigated how hypertension status influences the relationship between Lp(a) and all-cause mortality in ADHF. Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective observational study including 2610 patients hospitalized with ADHF. We normalized the distribution of Lp(a) by a logarithmic transformation and assessed the risk of all-cause mortality with Lp(a), using Cox regression with adjustment for potential confounders. Results: Among 2610 patients (39.0% women; mean age, 68.8 years), 1606 (61.5%) had hypertension. Over 4.1 years (median), 1287 deaths occurred. In all patients, log-transformed Lp(a) was significantly associated with mortality (adjusted HR 1.21; 95% CI, 1.05-1.39; Conclusions: Increased admission Lp(a) levels were associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality in ADHF patients with hypertension. Further studies are needed to explore the mechanistic links among Lp(a), hypertension and ADHF.
