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

Background: S100A12, a pro-inflammatory protein primarily secreted by neutrophils, has been implicated in vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. However, its role in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between plasma S100A12 levels and MACE risk, and to assess the potential mediating role of neutrophil count in this relationship. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study using data from the UK Biobank (N = 47,106). Participants with prior MACE or missing S100A12 or neutrophil count data were excluded. MACE was defined as a composite of non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and cardiovascular death. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association between S100A12 and MACE risk, adjusting for demographics, lifestyle factors, metabolic parameters, and genetic predisposition. Mediation analysis was conducted to evaluate the indirect effect of neutrophil count on this association. Results: During a median follow-up of 15.3 years, 2,250 (4.8 %) participants experienced MACE, with a total follow-up time of 695,581.4 patient-years. Higher S100A12 levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of MACE (HR: 1.115, 95 % CI: 1.050-1.183, Conclusion: Elevated S100A12 levels are independently associated with increased MACEs risk, with neutrophil count serving as a significant mediator.
