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

purposeThe purpose of this review was to examine the role of IL-1β in the inflammatory process central to the development of atherosclerosis and to discuss current clinical evidence for treatments targeting IL-1β in coronary artery disease. RECENT

findingsIL-1β has been shown to modulate atherosclerotic plaque progression by upregulating the synthesis of adhesion molecules on endothelial cells, as well increasing activation and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Animal studies have further suggested that alterations in the balance between agonists and antagonists of IL-1β are important in promoting atherosclerosis. In humans, preliminary assessment of therapy targeting IL-1β noted early reductions in serum inflammatory biomarkers among those with systemic inflammatory or coronary artery disease. The CANTOS trial, a large randomized double-blind study found that canakinumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting IL-1β, reduced ischemic events in patients being treated for secondary prevention. Cellular, animal, and now clinical studies have suggested a role for therapies aimed at IL-1β for treatment of CAD. However, given potential side effects and costs of these medications, further study is required to determine which patients may be most suited for treatment above current standard of care.
