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

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with lipid deposition. The interaction between abnormal lipid metabolism and the inflammatory response has been identified as the underlying cause of AS. Lipid metabolism disorders are considered the basis of atherosclerotic lesion formation and macrophages are involved in the entire process of AS formation. Macrophages have a high degree of plasticity, and the change of their polarization direction can determine the progress or regression of AS. The disturbances in bioactive lipid metabolism affect the polarization of different phenotypes of macrophages, thus, affecting lipid metabolism and the expression of key signal factors. Therefore, understanding the interaction between lipid metabolism and macrophages as well as their key targets is important for preventing and treating AS and developing new drugs. Recent studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicines play a positive role in the prevention and treatment of AS, providing a basis for clinical individualized treatment.
