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 anatomical counterpart of the physiologically defined small pore system of capillary endothelia has proved difficult to establish. In non-brain continuous capillaries, the contributions of caveolar and transmembrane pathways are likely to be small and paracellular clefts are probably the dominant routes. Analogy with epithelial paracellular pathways suggests that tight junctions may be the most restrictive elements. However, structural features of tight junction-based models are incompatible with physiological data; it is more likely that the tight junction acts as a shutter limiting the available cleft area. Proposed molecular sieves elsewhere in the paracellular pathway include the glycocalyx and the cadherin-based complexes of the adherens junctions. The molecular architecture of tight junctions and adherens junctions is moderately well defined in terms of molecular species, and there are differences at both sites between the endothelial and epithelial spectra of protein expression. However, definition of the size-restricting pore remains elusive and may require structural biology approaches to the spatial arrangements and interactions of the membrane molecular complexes surrounding the endothelial paracellular clefts.
