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

The common belief that signs of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are clinically relevant only during adult and elderly age is gradually changing. Increasing evidence supports the concept that CVD is initiated through developmental in utero processes beginning before birth. Epigenetic and other unknown mechanisms underlying these developmental events are yet to be elucidated. The clinical implications of such theories for the primary prevention of CVD are intuitive and logical, but clinical prospective studies and translational approaches are still warranted. The evolution of CVD is usually characterized by a long lag time between onset and clinical manifestation, thereby providing a relevant opportunity for its early non-invasive detection during childhood and tailored therapeutic strategies, both with established pharmacologic agents and newly developed drugs that can affect epigenetic mechanisms.
