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

Despite advances in care, cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide. As a result, identifying suitable biomarkers for early diagnosis and improving therapeutic and diagnostic strategies is crucial. Because of their significant advantages over other therapeutic approaches, nucleic-based therapies, particularly aptamers, are gaining increased attention. Aptamers are innovative synthetic polymers or oligomers of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or RNA molecules that can form 3-dimensional structures and thus interact with their targets with high specificity and affinity. Furthermore, they outperform classical protein-based antibodies in terms of in vitro selection, production, ease of modification and conjugation, high stability, low immunogenicity, and suitability for nanoparticle functionalization for targeted drug delivery. This work aims to review the advances made in the aptamers' field in biomarker detection, diagnosis, imaging, and targeted therapy, which highlight their huge potential in the management of cardiovascular diseases.
