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

purposeTo produce a transgenic rat harboring the Tie2 promoter/enhancer linked green fluorescence protein (GFP) gene and investigate the blood-brain barrier (BBB)- and inner blood-retinal barrier (iBRB)-selective GFP expression in the brain and retina.

methodsTransgenic rats were produced by the microinjection of mouse Tie2/GFP gene into fertilized oocytes of Wistar rats. The expression of GFP was observed in tissue slices by confocal microscopy.

resultsOne of the obtained transgenic lines showed intense GFP expression in vascular endothelial cells throughout the brain. After double immunostaining with glucose transporter 1, the GFP was found to be localized in the cytoplasmic compartment of brain capillary endothelial cells. In contrast, no fluorescence was observed in neural cells. In the retina of transgenic rats, intense GFP expression was detected in retinal capillary endothelial cells. No fluorescence was detected in other cells. In kidney and liver, GFP expression was detected in vascular endothelial cells, whereas the expressed region was limited.

conclusionsMouse Tie2 promoter/enhancer has the ability to induce gene expression selectively in vascular endothelial cells in the brain and retina of transgenic rats.
