Therapeutic biomaterials with liver X receptor agonists based on the horizon of material biology to regulate atherosclerotic plaque regression
Article in Regenerative biomaterials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Percutaneous coronary interventional is the main treatment for coronary atherosclerosis. At present, most studies focus on blood components and smooth muscle cells to achieve anticoagulation or anti-proliferation effects, while the mediated effects of materials on macrophages are also the focus of attention. Macrophage foam cells loaded with elevated cholesterol is a prominent feature of atherosclerotic plaque. Activation of liver X receptor (LXR) to regulate cholesterol efflux and efferocytosis and reduce the number of macrophage foam cells in plaque is feasible for the regression of atherosclerosis. However, cholesterol efflux promotion remains confined to targeted therapies. Herein, LXR agonists (GW3965) were introduced on the surface of the material and delivered
