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 (CVD) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the adult and the elderly, with increasing prevalence worldwide. A growing body of research has focused on the earliest stage of vascular decline-endothelial dysfunction (ED)-which at the microvascular level can anticipate in decades the diagnosis of CVD. This review aims to provide a prospect of the literature regarding the development of ED as an indissociable feature of the aging of the cardiovascular system, highlighting the role of inflammation in the process. Vascular aging consists of a lifelong continuum, which starts with cell respiration and its inherent production of reactive oxygen species. Molecular imbalance is followed by cellular epigenetic changes, which modulate immune cells, such as macrophage and lymphocyte subtypes. These mechanisms are influenced by lifestyle habits, which affect inflammation hotspots in organism, such as visceral fat and gut microbiota. The process can ultimately lead to an environment committed to the loss of the physiological functions of endothelial cells. In addition, we discuss lifestyle changes targeting the connection between age-related inflammation and vascular dysfunction. Addressing microvascular ED represents a critical endeavor in order to prevent or delay vascular aging and associated diseases.
