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

Atherosclerosis is the primary underlying cause of myocardial infarction and stroke. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is characterized by a chronic inflammatory reaction in medium-to-large-sized arteries, with its onset and perpetuation driven by leukocytes infiltrating the subendothelial space. Activation of endothelial cells triggered by hyperlipidaemia and lipoprotein retention in the arterial intima initiates the accumulation of pro-inflammatory leukocytes in the arterial wall, fostering the progression of atherosclerosis. This inflammatory response is coordinated by an array of soluble mediators, namely cytokines and chemokines, that amplify inflammation both locally and systemically and are complemented by tissue-specific molecules that regulate the homing, adhesion and transmigration of leukocytes. Despite abundant evidence from mouse models, only a few therapies targeting leukocytes in atherosclerosis have been assessed in humans. The major challenges for the clinical translation of these therapies include the lack of tissue specificity and insufficient selectivity of inhibition strategies. In this Review, we discuss the latest research on receptor-ligand pairs and interactors that regulate leukocyte influx into the inflamed artery wall, primarily focusing on studies that used pharmacological interventions. We also discuss mechanisms that promote the resolution of inflammation and highlight how major findings from these research areas hold promise as potential therapeutic strategies for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
