Association of elevated baseline bilirubin caused by preadmission statin use with cardiovascular prognosis in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bilirubin is widely recognized to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics. However, the relationship between bilirubin and coronary artery disease (CAD) remains controversial, particularly in individuals receiving Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Given that statins may enhance the production of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and bilirubin, we investigated the long-term cardiovascular prognostic role of bilirubin levels elevated by statin use in patients undergoing PCI. Data of 6945 subjects undergoing PCI were enrolled in this study. We divided the patients into two groups based on serum total bilirubin (TB) levels detected prior to PCI. The high TB group consisted of patients with serum TB values > 8.4 μmmol/L, while the low TB group consisted of patients with serum TB values ≤ 8.4 μmmol/L. The median follow-up time was 836 days. Cox proportional hazards models were performed to evaluate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) associated with bilirubin levels. The association between TB levels and risk of MACE was significant [adjusted HR = 0.557, 95% CI (0.59-0.96), p = 0.020). Linear analysis was performed to determine the association between preadmission usage of statin and bilirubin level. The preadmission usage of statin independently linearly increases TB [adjusted-β = 0.371, 95% CI (0.134-0.608), p = 0.002] and direct bilirubin (DB) [adjusted-β = 0.411, 95% CI (0.300-0.522), p < 0.001). Mediation analysis demonstrated a direct protective role of preadmission statins treatment (β = - 0.024, p < 0.01), TB (β = - 0.003, p < 0.05) and DB (β = - 0.009, p < 0.05). Furthermore, it was found that TB (4.0%) and DB (12.0%) mediated the relationship between preadmission statins therapy and MACE. Bilirubin has a protective effect against MACE. In patients with normal bilirubin level undergoing elective PCI, preadmission statin use elevated bilirubin levels, which were independently associated with a lower incidence of MACE over the long-term follow-up period.
