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

South Africans are at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Endothelin-1 is known for its vasoconstrictive properties and its ability to contribute to vascular structural changes. In this study we investigated the association of change in endothelin-1 levels and change in markers implicated in vascular remodelling after 3 years. Serum endothelin-1 levels and markers of vascular remodelling such as carotid intima-media thickness, carotid cross-sectional wall area (CSWA) and arterial compliance were measured. Participants were divided into two groups according to an increase (n=185) and a decrease (n=152) in plasma endothelin-1 levels after 3 years. In partial regression analysis, the extent of endothelin-1 increase correlated positively with a change in pulse pressure and inversely with the change in arterial compliance in the group with increased endothelin-1 levels after 3 years. In the group with decreased endothelin-1 levels, the extent of decreased endothelin-1 correlated inversely with a change in CSWA. In multiple regression analysis, after splitting for race, the increase in endothelin-1 levels associated positively with the change in pulse pressure (Adj. R
