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 chronic inflammatory condition that is typified by the deposition of lipids and the subsequent inflammation of medium and large arteries. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are fibrous meshworks of DNA, histones, and granzymes expelled by activated neutrophils in response to a variety of pathogenic conditions. In addition to their role in pathogen eradication, NETs have been demonstrated to play a pivotal role in the development of atherosclerosis. This article presents a review of the bidirectional interactions in which atherosclerosis-related risk factors stimulate the formation of NETs, which in turn support disease progression. This article emphasizes the involvement of NETs in the various stages of atherogenesis and development, influencing multiple factors such as the vascular endothelium, platelets, the inflammatory milieu, and lipid metabolism. The findings of this study offer new insights and avenues for further investigation into the processes underlying the formation and regulation of the vascular inflammatory microenvironment in atherosclerosis. Finally, potential targeted therapeutic strategies for NETs are discussed to facilitate their progression to clinical practice (Graphical Abstract).
