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

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a group of clinical symptoms that results from complete or partial occlusive thrombus, which is caused by coronary an atherosclerotic plaque rupture or erosion. According to a recent study, CD4(+) CD28(-) T cells are found in atherosclerotic plaques and the peripheral circulation blood in patients with ACS, these cells play an important role in plaque ruptures. CD4(+) CD28(-) T cells are an unusual subset of helper cells, which expand and have harmful effects in ACS. In this review, we discuss the current issues on the generation of CD4(+) CD28(-) T cells and focus on their phenotypic and functional characteristics relevant to the development of cardiovascular events. Targeting the CD4(+) CD28(-) T cells subset in ACS could provide novel therapeutic means to prevent acute life-threatening coronary events.
