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

Fibulin (fbln)-5 is an elastin-binding protein required for assembly and organization of elastic fibers. To examine the potential role of fbln-5 in vascular remodeling and neointima formation, we induced vascular injury by carotid artery ligation in fbln-5(-/-) mice. Mutant mice displayed an exaggerated vascular remodeling response that was accompanied by severe neointima formation with thickened adventitia. These abnormalities were not observed in elastin(+/-) mice that exhibited a comparable reduction of vessel extensibility to fbln-5(-/-) mice. Thus, the severe remodeling response could not be attributed to altered extensibility of the vessel wall alone. Vascular smooth muscle cells cultured from fbln-5(-/-) mice displayed enhanced proliferative and migratory responses to mitogenic stimulation relative to wild-type cells, and these responses were inhibited by overexpression of fbln-5. These findings demonstrate the importance of the elastic laminae in vascular injury, and reveal an unexpected role of fbln-5 as an inhibitor of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration.
