CARMN loss promotes VSMC-derived foam cell formation and atherosclerosis through transcriptional downregulation of autophagy.
Article in Cell death & disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are a significant source of foam cells in atherosclerosis, but the mechanism involved in the formation of VSMC-derived foam cells remains poorly understood. Although long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are dysregulated in lipid metabolism disorder and atherosclerosis, little is known about their involvement in VSMC-derived foam cell formation. Silencing CARMN promoted lipid accumulation and VSMC-derived foam cell formation in high-fat diet-fed ApoE
