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

Accumulating observations in humans and animals indicate that inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis development and subsequent complications. Moreover, the use of loss- or gain-of-function genetically modified, atherosclerosis-prone mice has provided strong experimental evidence for a causal role of innate and adaptive immunity in atherosclerosis and has revealed the pathogenic activity of proinflammatory cytokines, including TNF (tumor necrosis factor)-α, IL (interleukin)-1β, IL-6, and IL-18, and the atheroprotective effect of anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-10 and TGF-β. For the past 15 years, treatments using monoclonal antibodies specifically targeting cytokines, commonly referred as biological therapies, have transformed the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, both conditions associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Analyzing the impact of anticytokine therapies on the cardiovascular outcomes of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases provides insight into the clinical relevance of experimental data on the role of inflammation in atherothrombotic cardiovascular diseases. CANTOS (Canakinumab Antiinflammatory Thrombosis Outcome Study) provided the first evidence that targeting inflammation in humans with atherosclerosis could improve clinical outcomes. Treatment with the anti-IL-1β antibody canakinumab significantly reduced recurrent cardiovascular events in individuals with stable coronary artery disease well-treated with standard-of-care measures. Other clinical studies support the protective effects of treatment with anti-TNF-α and anti-IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibodies on cardiovascular risk. Blockade of the IL-23/IL-17 axis, however, warrants caution as a cardiovascular intervention. Targeting this pathway has improved psoriasis but may augment cardiovascular risk in certain patients. Thus, careful consideration of the cardiovascular risk profile may influence the choice of the most appropriate treatment for patients with chronic inflammatory diseases.Visual Overview: An online visual overview is available for this article.
