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

purpose of reviewThis review aims to explore the role of immune memory and trained immunity, focusing on how innate immune cells like monocytes, macrophages, and natural killer cells undergo long-term epigenetic and metabolic rewiring. Specifically, it examines the mechanisms by which trained immunity, often triggered by infection or vaccination, could impact cardiac processes and contribute to both protective and pathological responses within the cardiovascular system. RECENT

findingsRecent research demonstrates that vaccination and infection not only activate immune responses in circulating monocytes and tissue macrophages but also affect immune progenitor cells within the bone marrow environment, conferring lasting protection against heterologous infections. These protective effects are attributed to epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming, which enable a heightened immune response upon subsequent encounters with pathogens. However, while trained immunity is beneficial in combating infections, it has been linked to exacerbated inflammation, which may increase susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and heart failure. Our review highlights the dual nature of trained immunity: while it offers protective advantages against infections, it also poses potential risks for cardiovascular health by promoting chronic inflammation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying immune memory's impact on cardiac processes could lead to new therapeutic strategies to mitigate cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, heart failure, and diabetes. These insights build the grounds for future research to balance the benefits of trained immunity with its potential risks in cardiovascular disease management.
