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
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, especially in developing countries, with dyslipidemia being a major risk factor. This study aimed to evaluate lipid parameters and inflammatory biomarkers-E-selectin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-to understand their roles in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A case-control design was used, involving 120 participants: 60 patients diagnosed with ACS and 60 healthy controls, enrolled between January and December 2024. Blood samples were analyzed to assess lipid profiles, including total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, and VLDL, using a SMART-120 chemistry analyzer. Serum levels of TNF-α and E-selectin were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results showed significant differences in lipid profiles between ACS patients and controls, supporting the impact of dyslipidemia on ACS development. E-selectin levels were significantly elevated in ACS patients (213.26 ± 2.72 pg/mL) compared to controls (175.11 ± 2.71 pg/mL), with P < 0.0001. Similarly, TNF-α levels were higher in patients (83.20 ± 3.88 pg/mL) than controls (45.65 ± 1.79 pg/mL), also with P < 0.0001. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that E-selectin had 96% sensitivity and specificity at a cutoff of 73.44 pg/mL, while TNF-α had 93% sensitivity and 86% specificity at a cutoff of 188.65 pg/mL. Both biomarkers positively correlated with body mass index (r = 0.572, P < 0.0001).The findings suggest that TNF-α and E-selectin are potential diagnostic biomarkers for ACS and play key
