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

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. The pathological basis of these conditions is atherosclerosis (AS), which is associated with high mortality and significant morbidity rates. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial in various human diseases, including ASCVD; however, the specific mechanisms by which disease-associated lncRNAs are involved in ASCVD are not fully understood. In our study, we observed upregulated expression of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1 (MALAT1) and DNA hypomethylation levels in ASCVD patients. To investigate the role of MALAT1 in ASCVD, we used oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-treated THP-1 macrophages as a cellular model. Functional experiments demonstrated that the knockdown of MALAT1 reversed ox-LDL-mediated inhibition of cell viability, promotion of apoptosis, cholesterol metabolism imbalance, and inflammatory responses. Furthermore, inhibition of MALAT1 ameliorated the progression of AS in ApoE
