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 is a leading cause of death worldwide and is associated with systemic inflammation. In depth study of the cell-specific signaling mechanisms mediating the inflammatory response is vital to improving anti-inflammatory therapies that reduce mortality and morbidity. Cellular damage in the cardiovascular system results in the release of damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), also known as "alarmins," which activate myeloid cells through the adaptor protein myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88). MyD88 is broadly expressed in most cell types of the immune and cardiovascular systems, and its role often differs in a cardiovascular disease context and cell specific manner. Herein we review what is known about MyD88 in the setting of a variety of cardiovascular diseases, discussing cell specific functions and the relative contributions of MyD88-dependent vs. independent alarmin triggered inflammatory signaling. The widespread involvement of these pathways in cardiovascular disease, and their largely unexplored complexity, sets the stage for future in depth mechanistic studies that may place MyD88 in both immune and non-immune cell types as an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in cardiovascular disease.
