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

purpose of the reviewThis review discusses the molecular mechanisms involved in the immuno-pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, the pleiotropic anti-inflammatory effects of approved cardiovascular therapies and the available evidence on immunomodulatory therapies for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD). We highlight the importance of clinical and translational research in identifying molecular mechanisms and discovering new therapeutic targets. RECENT

findingsThe CANTOS (Canakinumab Anti-Inflammatory Thrombosis Outcomes Study) trial was the first to demonstrate a reduction in cardiovascular (CV) risk with anti-inflammatory therapy, irrespective of serum lipid levels. ACVD is the leading cause of death worldwide. Although targeting principal risk factors significantly reduces CV risk, residual risk remains unaddressed. The immunological mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis represent attractive therapeutic targets. Several commonly used and non-primarily anti-inflammatory drugs (i.e. SGLT2i, and PCSK9i) exhibit pleiotropic properties. Otherwise, recent trials have investigated the blockade of primarily inflammatory compounds, trying to lower the residual risk via low-dose IL-2, PTPN22 and CD31 pathway modulation. In the era of precision medicine, modern approaches may explore new pharmacological targets, identify new markers of vascular inflammation, and evaluate therapeutic responses.
