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

The unique physicochemical properties of nanoparticles (NPs) have facilitated the development of targeted therapies for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). According to World Health Organization estimates, CVDs are the predominant contributors to global mortality, accounting for approximately 17.9 million deaths annually. Conventional treatments, including pharmacological interventions and surgical procedures, face significant barriers such as systemic toxicity due to non-targeted delivery, incomplete efficacy, and high financial burdens. Nanoscale innovations address these limitations through mechanisms such as targeted drug delivery and controlled release. Despite these advancements, concerns regarding NPs-induced cardiotoxicity remain unresolved. As nanomedicine advances rapidly, understanding NP functions within the cardiovascular system is essential for optimizing therapeutic outcomes in parallel to minimize unintended risks. Metal-based NPs, including gold, silver, and iron oxide, have demonstrated promising applications in cardiovascular imaging, regenerative therapy, and drug delivery; however, emerging evidence indicates their potential to induce oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and endothelial dysfunction, contributing to atherosclerosis, myocardial injury, and arrhythmias. Inhaled and intravenously administered NPs exhibit dose-dependent toxicities that influence mitochondrial function and calcium homeostasis within cardiomyocytes. This review comprehensively analyzes in vitro and in vivo studies and notable clinical trials such as the NANOM-FIM trial. Furthermore, we discuss the role of specific antioxidants in cardioprotection and mitigating NPs-induced cardiotoxicity.
