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

Purpose: The early, precise, and safe management of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques (VAPs) remains a formidable clinical challenge. Here, we present a targeted nanotherapeutic approach in which osteopontin-targeted nanoparticles encapsulate luteolin (NPs-Lut) for the precise delivery and treatment of VAPs. This engineered system enables site-specific accumulation and sustained release of luteolin at plaque sites. Methods: We innovatively constructed an osteopontin-targeted drug delivery system designed for vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques, in which luteolin and atorvastatin were successfully encapsulated. The system demonstrated sustained-release capability in vitro, and its biosafety and histocompatibility were comprehensively evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, therapeutic efficacy was further assessed in ApoE Results: In vivo evaluation in ApoE Conclusion: This work provides a robust and translationally promising nanoplatform for the precision treatment of VAPs, offering a novel strategy for safe and effective intervention in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
