Gene Expression Profiling of Markers of Inflammation, Angiogenesis, Coagulation and Fibrinolysis in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease with Very High Lipoprotein(a) Levels Treated with PCSK9 Inhibitors.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Besides lipids, inflammation, angiogenesis, coagulation and fibrinolysis play very important roles in coronary artery disease (CAD). We measured gene expression of the inflammatory markers interleukin (IL)-1β (IL1B) and interferon (IFN)-γ (IFNG), vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) (VEGFA), and coagulation and fibrinolysis markers tissue factor (TF) (F3) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) (SERPINE) in healthy controls and CAD patients with high lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)). The aim of our study was to identify, first, if there is a difference in these markers between controls and patients; secondly, if these markers are associated with lipids; and third, what the influence of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors is on these markers. We included 124 subjects, 27 controls and 97 patients with CAD (30 in placebo and 67 in the PCSK9 group). Blood samples were collected for lipid and gene measurement. The results showed higher expression of IL1B (p < 0.0001), VEGFA (p < 0.0001), and F3 (p = 0.018) in controls in comparison with patients. Significant correlations were observed between IL1B and lipids. Treatment with PCSK9 inhibitors increased VEGFA (p < 0.0001) and F3 (p = 0.001), and decreased SERPINE (p = 0.043). The results of our study underpin the importance of IL-1β, VEGF-A and TF in CAD as well as the effect of PCSK9 treatment on these markers.
