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

backgroundClonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is the age-related presence of expanded somatic clones secondary to leukemogenic driver mutations and is associated with cardiovascular (CV) disease and mortality. We sought to evaluate relationships between CHIP with cardiometabolic diseases and incident outcomes in high-risk individuals.

methodsCHIP genotyping was performed in 8469 individuals referred for cardiac catheterization at Duke University (CATHGEN study) to identify variants present at a variant allele fraction (VAF) ≥2%. Associations were tested among any CHIP variant, large CHIP clones (VAF > 10%) and individual CHIP genes with prevalent cardiometabolic traits. Cox proportional hazard models tested CHIP associations with time-to-overall mortality and Fine-Gray analyses tested CHIP associations with incident cardiovascular outcomes.

resultsWe identified 463 CHIP variants in 427 individuals (5.0%) of which 268 (3.2%) harbored large CHIP clones. CHIP and large CHIP were associated with lower odds of obesity (OR 0.79 [95% CI 0.65-0.98], p = 0.03; OR 0.76 [95% CI 0.57-0.99], p = 0.04, respectively). CHIP was associated with prevalent heart failure (HF, OR 1.25 [95% CI 1.01-1.55], p = 0.04; especially for non-DNMT3A CHIP (OR 1.38 [95% CI 1.04-1.82], p = 0.02). CHIP was also associated with incident events: Non-DNMT3A CHIP was associated with increased risk of time-to-HF hospitalization (HR 1.29 [95% CI 1.02-1.63], p = 0.03).

conclusionsIn high-risk individuals referred for cardiac catheterization, large CHIP and non-DNTM3A CHIP were associated with obesity, prevalent HF, incident CV events. These findings strengthen the importance of CHIP as a biomarker for CV disease and highlight the contributing risk of large CHIP clones and non-DNMT3A CHIP variants.
