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

Purpose: A history of coronary heart disease (CHD) increases the risk of Brain-Heart Syndrome (BHS) after acute stroke, partly through heightened inflammatory responses. Evolocumab, a PCSK9 inhibitor, has anti-inflammatory properties, but its transcriptomic effects in BHS patients with CHD remain unclear. This study aims to identify evolocumab-associated transcriptomic changes and inflammation-related biomarkers in this population. Patients and Methods: Blood samples from 24 BHS patients with CHD history (12 receiving rosuvastatin alone, 12 receiving rosuvastatin plus evolocumab) underwent transcriptomic sequencing. Candidate biomarkers were identified via differential expression and machine learning, with functional enrichment and immune infiltration analyses conducted. Results: Four candidate biomarkers were identified: Conclusion: This pilot study provides preliminary insights into the molecular mechanisms of evolocumab in treating Brain-Heart Syndrome with a coronary heart disease history, identifying four inflammation-related biomarkers. These findings suggest potential targets for future investigation; however, given the exploratory nature and small sample size, further experimental and clinical validation is required before any therapeutic application.
