Long non-coding RNA AK023617 orchestrates atherosclerosis by regulating the circadian rhythm of immunity-related GTPase family M protein in macrophages.

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
Acute coronary events show a diurnal rhythm, and atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability, as a histomorphological characteristic of major adverse cardiovascular events, is a key target for intervention. Although oscillating microRNAs reduce plaque stability by facilitating macrophage apoptosis in lesions, whether rhythmic long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) can regulate diurnal oscillations in plaque stability and the potential underlying mechanism remain unclear. In this study, we examined whether rhythmic lncRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis and progression of atherosclerosis and detected a novel circadian lncRNA-AK023617, which is positively correlated with the peak occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events. Transfection of short interfering RNA specific to lnc-AK023617 into THP-1 cells dampened the oscillation of immunity-related GTPase family M protein 1 (Irgm1), which is negatively related to plaque stability.
