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

purposeMacrophages play vital roles in the development of atherosclerosis in responding to lipid accumulation and inflammation. Macrophages were classified as inflammatory (M1) and alternatively activated (M2) macrophage types based on results of in vitro experiments. On the other hand, the composition of macrophages in vivo is more complex and remains unresolved. This review summarizes the transcriptional variations of macrophages in atherosclerosis plaques that were discovered by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to better understand their contribution to atherosclerosis. RECENT

findingsScRNA-seq provides a more detailed transcriptional landscape of macrophages in atherosclerosis, which challenges the traditional view. By mining the data of GSE97310, we discovered the transcriptional variations of macrophages in LDLR
