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 disease is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous immunometabolic disorder shaped by inflammation, metabolic rewiring, endothelial dysfunction, mitochondrial stress, and tissue remodeling across diverse cell types. This review provides a hypothesis-generating conceptual synthesis of non-coding RNA-driven cardiovascular immunometabolic reprogramming from an inflammatory endotype-oriented perspective. Because ncRNA profiling has not yet prospectively assigned cardiovascular patient cohorts to validated inflammatory endotypes, we frame mechanism-based endotypes as complementary research constructs rather than clinically deployable diagnostic categories. We discuss how conventional disease labels, including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy, may be cross-mapped to dominant mechanisms such as athero-inflammation, sterile ischemic injury, fibro-inflammatory remodeling, metabolic inflammation, and vascular immune-endothelial dysfunction. We summarize how microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, and extracellular vesicle-associated RNA species regulate macrophage cholesterol handling, inflammasome activation, endothelial activation, vascular smooth muscle cell plasticity, cardiomyocyte mitochondrial dysfunction, fibroblast activation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and intercellular communication, with added attention to circRNA tissue-source patterns in cardiac, immune-cell, endothelial, and vascular compartments. We also highlight their context-dependent and cell type-specific actions, which challenge simple protective-versus-pathogenic classifications. Finally, we discuss translational opportunities, including circulating and extracellular vesicle-associated non-coding RNAs as liquid biopsy candidates, RNA-based therapeutics, endotype-enriched study designs, and traditional medicine-inspired multicomponent strategies. Despite barriers related to delivery, specificity, disease stage, species conservation, analytical standardization, and validation, integrated phenotyping, multi-omics profiling, functional perturbation, and biomarker-enriched trials may advance non-coding RNAs as candidate classifiers, regulators, markers, and therapeutic targets in precision cardiovascular medicine.
