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

backgroundCarotid atherosclerotic plaque is the primary cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is closely related to oxidative stress and immune inflammation. This bioinformatic study was conducted to identify key oxidative stress-related genes and key immune cell infiltration involved in the formation, progression, and stabilization of plaques and investigate the relationship between them.

resultsWe show that the up-regulation of oxidative stress-related genes such as IDH1 and CD36 in resident-like macrophages and foam macrophages play a key role in the formation and progression of carotid atherosclerotic plaques.

conclusionsWe discuss the role of oxidative stress and immune inflammation in the formation, progression, and stabilization of plaques by combining predictive models with analysis of single-cell data. It introduced novel insights into the mechanisms underlying carotid atherosclerosis formation and plaque progression and may assist in identifying potential therapeutic targets for their treatment.
