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

backgroundAlbuminuria has been suggested as an atherosclerotic risk factor among the general population. However, whether this association will be amplified in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown. It is also unknown whether diabetes mellitus confounds the association. We aim to analyse the prognosis of elevated urine albumin creatinine ratio (uACR) in the CAD population with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

methodsThis multi-center registry cohort study included 5,960 patients with CAD. Patients were divided into T2DM and non-T2DM group, and baseline uACR levels were assessed on three grades (low: uACR < 10 mg/g, middle: 10 mg/g ≤ uACR < 30 mg/g, and high: uACR ≥ 30 mg/g). The study endpoints were cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality.

resultsDuring the median follow-up of 2.2 [1.2-3.1] years, 310 (5.2%) patients died, of which 236 (4.0%) patients died of cardiovascular disease. CAD patients with elevated uACR had a higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (middle: HR, 2.32; high: HR, 3.22) than those with low uACR, as well as all-cause mortality. Elevated uACR increased nearly 1.5-fold risk of cardiovascular mortality (middle: HR, 2.33; high: HR, 2.34) among patients without T2DM, and increased 1.5- fold to 3- fold risk of cardiovascular mortality in T2DM patients (middle: HR, 2.49; high: HR, 3.98).

conclusionsEven mildly increased uACR could increase the risk of cardiovascular mortality in patients with CAD, especially when combined with T2DM.
