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 progressive inflammatory disease that is intimately associated with oxidative stress. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in various critical stages of atherogenesis including endothelial dysfunction, immune cell activation, and foam cell formation. In recent years, nanotherapeutic approaches have emerged as promising tools to regulate ROS levels due to their tunable physicochemical properties, stimuli-responsiveness, and lesion-targeting potential. This review presents an integrated summary of ROS generation and elimination mechanisms in atherosclerotic plaques and outlines recent developments in both ROS-scavenging and ROS-responsive nanoplatforms. Instead of viewing these approaches in isolation, we emphasize their combinatorial potential to enhance therapeutic precision. Key challenges, including biosafety, pharmacokinetics, and off-target effects, are critically discussed. Lastly, we provide perspectives on the future design of intelligent, multifunctional, and clinically translatable ROS-modulating nanotherapeutics for effective atherosclerosis treatment.
