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

Autophagy is a crucial mechanism implicated in both aging and cardiovascular disease, which are two closely interconnected conditions. Modulation of autophagy is expected to have profound impacts on cellular aging and maintenance of cardiovascular functions under physiological or pathological conditions. Consequently, modulation of autophagy could be an effective strategy for counteracting age-induced vascular and cardiac remodelling as well as alleviating cardiovascular disease. The present review comprehensively elucidates the multifaceted impacts of autophagy on aging of the cardiovascular system. We comprehensively analyse both vascular and cardiac tissues, including vascular and cardiac malignancies, in distinct contexts. We also emphasize the significance of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression and their roles as biomarkers of cardiovascular pathologies while maintaining clear distinctions between the vascular and cardiac tissues. Preclinical and clinical models are described herein to highlight the importance of ncRNAs in disease treatment by considering their involvement in the modulation of autophagy within the cardiocirculatory system. Finally, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of transcriptomic data to underscore the paramount importance of autophagy while demonstrating it as a process that is frequently dysregulated in both cardiac and vascular cells under pathological conditions. The findings presented herein emphasize the importance of investigating novel strategies for modulating autophagy as a potential therapeutic approach to the management of age-related cardiovascular disorders.
