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

impact statementFatal consequences of atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis give research in this field great importance. This review provides recent information about the implications of neutrophils in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis via formation and release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), thereby enhancing our understanding on how the process of atherosclerosis develops and how its consequences occur. Information provided in this review suggests NETs as a new therapeutic target and a rich point for research. This review gives answers to questions about the mechanisms of atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis progression through studying the implications of NETs in these processes.
