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

Although the receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3)-phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5) signaling pathway is activated in other disease models, its role in atherosclerotic lesions remains unclear. This study reveals that phosphorylated RIPK3 and PGAM5 expressions are significantly elevated within macrophages in atherosclerosis lesions of humans and mice. Overexpression of PGAM5 aggravates the atherosclerotic lesion in in vivo and in vitro models. PGAM5 knockdown in macrophages promotes angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) gene and protein expression, reduces inflammatory factor release, and inhibits inflammation and migration in endothelial and smooth muscle cells by cellular communication. This study suggests PGAM5 as a crucial mediator in atherosclerosis and a potential therapeutic target for future treatments.
