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

Molecular imaging exhibits remarkable potential in immune cell tracking and advancing personalized clinical management, providing not only diagnostic and prognostic information but also enabling treatment efficacy quantification and therapeutic optimization. Macrophages play an essential role in the pathogenesis and progression of various cardiovascular diseases. This review comprehensively examines the characteristics of diverse molecular imaging modalities and their applications in macrophage imaging, encompassing major cardiovascular conditions, including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and cardiac transplantation. We anticipate that advancements in novel noninvasive molecular imaging technologies for macrophages will ultimately facilitate clinical diagnosis, outcome prediction, treatment strategy formulation, and therapy response monitoring, thereby providing critical technical support for precision medicine practice.
