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

Several methylation-based surrogate markers of C-reactive protein (mCRP) have been proposed and used to assess the risk of age-related phenotypes and construct novel ageing markers. We aimed to (i) assess the variance in plasma CRP explained by several mCRP markers; (ii) compare their associations with three health-related traits: mortality, body mass index (BMI), and PCGrimAge; and (iii) assess the stability of CRP and mCRP over a decade. Blood samples were collected from 947 participants in the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study at baseline (1990-1994) and wave 2 (2003-2007). High-sensitivity CRP was measured in plasma samples. Five mCRP markers were calculated: mCRP-Ligthart, mCRP-Wielscher, mCRP-EpiScore, mCRP-GrimAge2, and mCRP-Hillary. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated to assess the stability of CRP/mCRP between baseline and wave 2. Associations of wave 2 CRP/mCRP with mortality (N
