PCSK9: an emerging player in cardiometabolic aging and its potential as a therapeutic target and biomarker.
Review in GeroScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
10 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 12 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), renowned for its pivotal role in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) regulation, has emerged as a compelling regulator of cardiometabolic aging. Beyond its well-established involvement in cholesterol metabolism, PCSK9's multifaceted influence on the aging processes of the cardiovascular and metabolic systems is garnering increasing attention. This review delves into the evolving landscape of PCSK9 in the context of cardiometabolic aging, offering fresh insights into its potential implications. Drawing inspiration from pioneering research conducted by the Pacher laboratory (Arif et al., Geroscience, 2023, PMID: 37726433), we delve into the intricate interplay of PCSK9 within the aging heart and liver, shedding light on its newfound significance. Recent studies underscore PCSK9's pivotal role in liver aging, suggesting intriguing connections between hepatic aging, lipid metabolism, and cardiovascular health. Additionally, we explore the therapeutic potential of PCSK9 as both a target and a biomarker, within the context of age-related cardiovascular disease.
