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

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) increases inflammasome-linked atherosclerosis, but the mechanisms by which CH mutant cells transmit inflammatory signals to nonmutant cells are largely unknown. To address this question, we transplanted 1.5% Jak2V617F (Jak2VF) bone marrow (BM) cells with 98.5% WT BM cells into hyperlipidemic Ldlr-/- mice. Low-allele-burden (LAB) mice showed accelerated atherosclerosis with increased features of plaque instability, decreased levels of the macrophage phagocytic receptors c-Mer tyrosine kinase (MERTK) and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), and increased neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). These changes were reversed when Jak2VF BM was transplanted with Il1r1-/- BM. LAB mice with noncleavable MERTK in WT BM showed improvements in necrotic core and fibrous cap formation and reduced NETs. An agonistic TREM2 antibody (4D9) markedly increased fibrous caps in both control and LAB mice, eliminating the difference between the groups. Mechanistically, 4D9 increased TREM2+PDGFB+ macrophages and PDGF receptor-α+ fibroblast-like cells in the cap region. TREM2 and PDGFB mRNA levels were positively correlated in human carotid plaques and coexpressed in macrophages. In summary, low frequencies of Jak2VF mutations promoted atherosclerosis via IL-1 signaling from Jak2VF to WT macrophages and neutrophils, promoting cleavage of phagocytic receptors and features of plaque instability. Therapeutic approaches that stabilize MERTK or TREM2 could promote plaque stabilization, especially in CH- and inflammasome-driven atherosclerosis.
