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

objectiveNeointima formation occurs in arteries in response to mechanical or chemical injury and is responsible for substantial morbidity. In this work, the role of the intracellular linker protein Grb2 in the pathogenesis of neointima formation was examined. Grb2 is a critical signaling protein that facilitates the activation of the small GTPase ras by receptor tyrosine kinases. METHODS AND

resultsCultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells were treated with an antisense morpholino to Grb2 and these cells showed a reduced proliferative response to platelet-derived growth factor stimulation. Grb2-/- mice do not survive embryonic development. Grb2+/- mice appear normal at birth and are fertile but have defective signaling in several tissues. Cultured smooth muscle cells derived from Grb2+/- mice grew at a much slower rate than cells derived from Grb2+/+ mice. Grb2+/- and Grb2+/+ mice were subjected to carotid injury. After 21 days, Grb2+/+ mice developed robust neointima formation that, in some cases, resulted in an occlusive lesion. In contrast, Grb2+/- mice were resistant to the development of neointima

conclusionsGrb2 is an essential component of the signaling cascade resulting in neointima formation after arterial injury.
