Cardiac Lymphatics: An Example of Systems Biology in Medicine.
Article in Integrative medicine (Encinitas, Calif.), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
When evaluated from the 2017 perspective, the 1981 Lemole cardiac lymphatic drainage model for the origin of atherosclerosis appears very prescient. The concept proposed by Dr Lemole is rooted in a systems biology understanding of the origin of disease (itself a very novel concept in 1981). The Lemole hypothesis for the origin of atherosclerosis pioneered the application of systems thinking in cardiology and brought the importance of lifestyle factors and physical medicine approaches for the prevention and treatment of cardiac disease to the threshold of a mechanistic understanding. It is this type of systems biology approach to clinical problem solving that forms the heuristic of the functional medicine model.
