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

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a major complication of diabetes, whose progression is significantly accelerated by hyperglycemia. Imeglimin, a novel oral antidiabetic agent, has demonstrated efficacy in glucose control; however, its role in diabetes-related cardiovascular complications has not yet been fully explored. This study aimed to investigate the effects of imeglimin on foam cell formation and atherosclerosis in the context of diabetes. THP-1 macrophages were treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high glucose to induce foam cell formation in vitro. Additionally, ApoE
