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

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, with oxidative stress and redox imbalance playing pivotal roles in their initiation and progression. In this comprehensive review, we explore the molecular mechanisms by which reactive oxygen and nitrogen species disrupt vascular homeostasis, promote endothelial dysfunction, and drive adverse cardiac remodeling. We highlight key redox-sensitive pathways, including NADPH oxidase activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, endothelial nitric oxide synthase uncoupling, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Emerging oxidative stress biomarkers, such as 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α, oxidized low-density lipoprotein, and myeloperoxidase, are critically examined for their diagnostic and prognostic relevance. Additionally, we discuss therapeutic strategies targeting oxidative stress, ranging from conventional antioxidants to novel mitochondrial-directed and enzyme-specific interventions. Despite advances in understanding the redox landscape of CVDs, challenges remain in translating these insights into effective clinical therapies. Future research integrating omics technologies, precision medicine, and combined lifestyle-pharmacological approaches may offer new opportunities for redox-based cardiovascular interventions.
