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/

objectivesThis study investigated the effect of the consumption of carnosine-enriched chicken meat on endothelium-dependent and independent microvascular reactivity and inflammatory mediators in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). MATERIALS AND

methodsIn total, 38 CCS participants were randomized to two groups: the Control group (N = 19), who consumed regular chicken meat, and the Carnosine group (N = 19), who consumed carnosine-enriched chicken meat for 3 weeks. Skin microvascular reactivity in response to vascular occlusion (PORH), acetylcholine (ACh ID), sodium nitroprusside (SNP ID), and local thermal hyperemia (LTH) was measured. Arterial blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), biochemical parameters, anti- and proinflammatory cytokine levels, and markers of oxidative stress were assessed before and after the intervention.

resultsThe consumption of carnosine-enriched chicken meat improved endothelium-dependent (PORH, LTH) and endothelium-independent vasodilation (SNP ID). Systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), and mean BP (MAP), as well as serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and endoglin, decreased from the initial measurements.

conclusionThe consumption of carnosine-enriched chicken meat enhances microvascular endothelium-dependent and independent vasodilatation. Patients with CCS can benefit from carnosine-enriched chicken meat consumption through improved hemodynamic parameters, reduced inflammation, and enhanced microvascular relaxation.
