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

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of global mortality, accounting for pathologies that are primarily of atherosclerotic origin and driven by specific cell populations. A need exists for effective, non-invasive methods to assess the risk of potentially fatal major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) before occurrence and to monitor post-interventional outcomes such as tissue regeneration. Molecular imaging has widespread applications in CVD diagnostic assessment, through modalities including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and acoustic imaging methods. However, current gold-standard small molecule contrast agents are not cell-specific, relying on non-specific uptake to facilitate imaging of biologic processes. Nanomaterials can be engineered for targeted delivery to specific cell populations, and several nanomaterial systems have been developed for pre-clinical molecular imaging. Here, we review recent advances in nanoparticle-mediated approaches for imaging of cellular processes in cardiovascular disease, focusing on efforts to detect inflammation, assess lipid accumulation, and monitor tissue regeneration.
