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

backgroundMGP (matrix Gla protein) inhibits arterial calcification. Higher inactive MGP, in its dephosphorylated-uncarboxylated (dp-uc) form, is positively associated with vascular calcification, possibly portending adverse cardiovascular events. The objective of this study was to determine the association of dp-ucMGP with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and mortality in MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis).

methodsMESA is a prospective cohort study of 45- to 84-year-old individuals enrolled between 2000 and 2002 with adjudicated outcomes through 2019. Dp-ucMGP was measured at baseline in n=2663 participants with cardiac computed tomography at Exams 1 (2000-2002) and 5 (2010-2012). Age-stratified Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess dp-ucMGP with risk of all CVD (mean follow-up 16±4 years), hard CVD (17±3 years), hard coronary heart disease (17±3 years), and all-cause mortality (18±2 years).

resultsThe youngest age quartile (45- to 53-years-old) with higher dp-ucMGP levels (520-2934 pmol/L) had an increased risk of all CVD (hazard ratio [HR], 3.05 [95% CI, 1.58-5.90],

conclusionsYounger individuals 45 to 53 years old with elevated dp-ucMGP levels (≥520 pmol/L) had an increased risk of incident CVD, coronary heart disease, and all-cause mortality. No association was seen in older adults. Additional studies are needed to better delineate the relationship of inactive MGP with incident CVD, coronary heart disease, and all-cause mortality.
