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

Microtubules, assembled from tubulin subunits, as a core component of the cytoskeleton, are extensively involved in fundamental biological activities such as cell shape maintenance, material transport, and cell division. Recent studies have revealed that abnormal microtubules dynamics and post-translational modifications (PTMs) of tubulin in cardiovascular diseases profoundly impact the function of cardiomyocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, positioning the microtubule cytoskeleton as a key factor in cardiovascular pathophysiological processes. Specifically, alterations in microtubule stability and tubulin modifications influence cellular damage repair following myocardial ischemia but also regulate the development mechanisms of heart failure and atherosclerosis, demonstrating their multifaceted role in disease development. This systematic review examines microtubule dynamics and tubulin PTMs across various cardiovascular diseases and their underlying molecular mechanisms, with a focus on their potential as a therapeutic target. It aims to provide novel theoretical support and innovative insights for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, thereby advancing clinical translation in this field.
