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

Introduction: Despite multiple studies in the past, the role of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) in atherosclerosis is currently insufficiently understood. In this regard, PAD4 deletion or inhibition of enzymatic activity was previously reported to ameliorate disease progression and inflammation. Besides, strong influence of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) on atherosclerosis burden has been proposed. Here, we studied the role of PAD4 for atherogenesis and plaque progression in a mouse model of atherosclerosis. Methods and results: Lethally irradiated Conclusion: These results suggest that pharmacological inhibition of PAD4 may impede lipid accumulation and lesion progression despite no beneficial effects on vascular inflammation.
