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

Venous arterialization occurs when a vein segment is transposed as a bypass graft into the arterial circulation, resulting in a structural and functional reorganization of the vascular wall in response to the new local biomechanical environment. Although the anatomical changes of venous arterialization have been well characterized, the molecular mechanisms of vascular remodeling remain incompletely understood. Here, we present a novel model of venous arterialization in mice wherein the external jugular vein is connected to the common carotid artery. The hemodynamic characteristics of the arterialized vein, as assessed by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, resemble features of the arterial circulation. Temporal analyses of the morphological changes in the venous segment at 1, 3, and 7 days after surgery demonstrate preservation of the endothelium at all time points and formation of multiple smooth muscle layers by day 7. Expression of endothelial E-selectin and VCAM-1 was documented at early time points, concomitant with the presence of neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages in the vascular wall. In addition, endothelium-dependent permeability was decreased in the arterialized vein when compared to the contralateral control vein. Thus, this novel mouse model of venous arterialization displays anatomical and cellular features present in other species, and should help to characterize the molecular mechanisms of this adaptive response of the vascular wall to changes in its biomechanical environment.
