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

Atherosclerosis is a complex disease characterized by the accumulation of plaques in arterial walls. Understanding its pathogenesis remains incomplete, with factors like inflammation, oxidative stress, and hypertension playing critical roles. The disease exhibits preferential localization of plaques, with variability observed even within the same individual. Genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors contribute to its heterogeneity. Histological plaque phenotypes vary widely, prompting classification schemes focusing on systemic and local factors deteriorating fibrous caps. Recent research highlights differences in plaque histology among arterial systems, suggesting unique pathophysiological mechanisms. This study reports on multiple atherosclerotic plaques detected at autopsy in various vascular sites of a single subject, emphasizing their histological diversity and underscoring the systemic nature of atherosclerosis.
