Using nanotechnology for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease: a narrative review.
Article in The British journal of cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 disease incidence is increasing worldwide, rendering it the most common cause of death worldwide. As such, nanomedicine has emerged in the context of overcoming these biological barriers. In this review, novel technologies are illustrated on two levels: molecular imaging and nanotechnology in atherosclerosis and therapeutic options in atherosclerosis. The former includes many diagnostic techniques, such as fluorescence imaging, computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), photoacoustic imaging, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), and multi-modality imaging. The latter is divided into two main subgroups: the first group includes inflammation-targeted therapies involving the endothelial cells and macrophages, and the second group includes nanoparticle transporters, like liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), gel-like NPs, carbon nanotube, magnetic NPs, iron oxide NPs and gold NPs, and nanocoating (stent polymeric coatings to nanotextured ceramic coatings). In conclusion, nanoparticles show promise in enhancing the early diagnosis and targeted treatment of coronary artery disease. While several imaging and therapeutic techniques have demonstrated efficacy in preclinical models, only a few have progressed to human trials or clinical use.
