Erosion of the Atheroma: Wicked T Cells at the Culprit Site.
Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purpose of reviewThere is a growing recognition of plaque erosion as a cause of acute coronary syndrome. This review aims to examine the potential involvement of T cells in this process. RECENT
findingsImmune-vascular interactions have been identified in the development of plaque erosions. Up to one-third of eroded plaques show evidence of active immune infiltration, with the presence of T cells. We propose that microerosions may frequently occur in association with the infiltration of T cells and macrophages in early atherosclerotic lesions. Healing of erosions could trigger the deposition of excessive extracellular matrix. The pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic actions of T cells, along with reduced endothelial integrity and other mechanisms, may subsequently give rise to clinical symptoms. To gain a better understanding of the role of T cells in plaque erosion, it is crucial to develop improved models for conducting controlled experiments and to study atherosclerosis in younger individuals.
