Function and structure of pressurized and perfused porcine carotid arteries: effects of in vitro balloon angioplasty.
Article in The American journal of pathology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In this report we describe the application of an in vitro pressure-perfusion system for study of functional/structural changes after in vitro balloon dilation injury. Pig carotid arteries were perfused at P = 100 mm Hg and Q = 100 ml/min, balloon angioplastied (BA), and cultured under these hemodynamic conditions for 4 or 8 days (n = 5 BA and 6 controls for each time point). To assess endothelial function, outer diameter changes in response to bradykinin (BK) were measured daily. Remodeling was determined from the shift in pressure-passive diameter relation, as obtained after papaverine addition. Arterial samples were processed for histology. Control arteries showed spontaneous tone, BK-induced relaxation, and inward remodeling that was more pronounced at day 8 (ratio end-to-start passive diameter at P = 100 mm Hg, 0.69 +/- 0.04; P < 0.001) than at day 4 (0.85 +/- 0.03, P = 0.03). Intimal hyperplasia was detectable in these control vessels at day 8 with accumulation of alpha-smooth muscle actin-positive cells around the lumen. Angioplasty caused ruptures and dissections and abolished tone that returned after 5 days of perfusion along with BK-dependent relaxation. No significant inward remodeling or intimal hyperplasia was observed at day 8 after angioplasty. Thus, BA inhibits remodeling, which occurs after in vitro perfusion of conductance arteries.
