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

Nowadays, two major pathways seem to be responsible for the development and progression of atherosclerosis, namely, high levels of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and low-grade vascular inflammation. Indeed, the concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP), mirroring low-grade systemic inflammation, has been recognized as a more powerful determinant of recurrent cardiovascular (CV) events, death, and all-cause mortality than LDL-C levels. Gut microbiota (GM) dysbiosis is a causal factor for the development of different inflammatory-based pathologies, such as CV disease (CVD). In addition, pre/probiotics showed beneficial effects on GM dysbiosis, by influencing both inflammation and immunity. It has been well documented that eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) exert triglyceride (TG)-lowering and antithrombotic effects and play a seminal role in the resolution of inflammatory processes. We showed the recent studies indicating the relationship between pharmacological reduction in inflammatory cytokines and CV outcomes. The principal aim of our review is to highlight the anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory activities of GM, EPA, and DHA. Then, we pointed out how developing patient-specific pre/probiotic and EPA/DHA interventions alongside the standard of care (SOC) is needed in order to answer several of the questions raised, ranging from diminishing drug toxicity to including frailty individuals. Therefore, hypothetical tailored clinical studies are presented, aiming to treat all the patients at high-risk of CV events, as well as aged people.
