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

Inflammatory responses play a vital role in the onset and development of atherosclerosis, and throughout the entire process of the chronic disease. The inflammatory responses in atherosclerosis are mainly mediated by the NLRP3 inflammasome and its downstream inflammatory factors. As a powerful anti-inflammatory medicine, colchicine has a history of more than 200 years in clinical application and is the first-choice treatment for immune diseases such as gout and familial Mediterranean fever. In atherosclerosis, colchicine can inhibit the assembly and activation of NLRP3 inflammasome via various mechanisms to effectively reduce the expression of inflammatory factors, thereby reducing the inflammation. Recent clinical trials show that a low dose of colchicine (0.5 mg per day) has a certain protective effect in stable angina patients or those with acute myocardial infarction after PCI. This article summarizes and discusses the mechanisms of colchicine in the treatment of atherosclerosis and the latest research progress.
