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

Aberrant changes in cell behaviors, such as proliferation, apoptosis, and migration, are some of the contributing factors to the development of various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and pathologies, including atherosclerosis, neointimal hyperplasia, and heart failure. In recent years, numerous studies have identified survivin, a key player in the anti-apoptotic pathway, to be extensively involved in modulating cellular functioning in cancer, with many reaching clinical trials. Though seemingly different, CVDs and cancer share abundant similarities regarding abnormal cell modifications and behaviors. This overlap has sparked growing interest in investigating survivin as a therapeutic target in the context of CVD. With new findings emerging rapidly, a comprehensive understanding of survivin's role in cardiovascular pathology is crucial to revealing its full therapeutic potential and translating these discoveries into effective treatments. This review discusses recent findings of survivin in CVDs and related pathologies, focusing on its dual role in promoting proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis, specifically in atherosclerosis, neointimal hyperplasia, stroke, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. Across different cell types and pathological contexts, survivin plays a pivotal role throughout the disease progression-from the onset of disease development to the facilitation of compensatory mechanisms post-injury-primarily through its function in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. Furthermore, given the limited research on survivin as a therapeutic target for CVDs, potential clinical avenues, including YM155 (a survivin inhibitor) or adenoviral, adeno-associated, and lentiviral vectors, are also discussed. Overall, this review highlights survivin as a promising target for mitigating the detrimental effects of CVDs and to provide new perspectives to advance research on the intervention of CVDs and associated pathologies.
