Colchicine and Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease: An Updated Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 coronary artery disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite advances in lipid-lowering and antithrombotic therapies. Increasing evidence highlights the pivotal role of inflammation in all stages of atherosclerosis, from plaque formation to rupture. Colchicine, a well-known anti-inflammatory drug traditionally used in gout and pericarditis, has emerged as a promising agent in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated significant reductions in cardiovascular outcomes with low-dose colchicine, especially in patients with stable CAD and following myocardial infarction. This review provides an updated overview of the pathophysiological rationale for colchicine use in atherosclerosis, summarizes key clinical trial data, and discusses potential mechanisms, safety considerations, and future directions.
