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

Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease has a complex pathogenesis which extends beyond cholesterol intimal infiltration. It involves chronic inflammation of the coronary artery wall driven by systemic and local activation of both the adaptive and innate immune systems, which can ultimately result in the rupture or erosion of atherosclerotic plaque, leading to thrombosis and myocardial infarction (MI). Despite current best practice care, including the widespread use of cholesterol-lowering statins, atherothrombotic cardiovascular events recur at alarming rates post-MI. To a large extent, this reflects residual inflammation that is not adequately controlled by contemporary treatment. Consequently, there has been increasing interest in the pharmacological targeting of inflammation to improve outcomes in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This has comprised both novel pathway-specific agents, most notably the anti-interleukin-1 beta monoclonal antibody, canakinumab, and the repurposing of established, broad-acting drugs, such as colchicine, that are already approved for the management of other inflammatory conditions. Here we discuss the importance of inflammation in mediating atherosclerosis and its complications and provide a timely update on "new" and "old" anti-inflammatory therapies currently being investigated to target it.
