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

Immediately after birth the adluminal vascular SMCs of the pulmonary elastic arteries undergo transient actin cytoskeletal remodeling as well as cellular de-differentiation and proliferation. Vascular smooth muscle phenotype is regulated by serum response factor, which is itself regulated in part by the negative regulator YY1. We therefore studied the subcellular localization of YY1 in arteries of normal newborn piglets and piglets affected by neonatal pulmonary hypertension. We found that YY1 localization changed during development and that expression of gamma-smooth muscle actin correlated with expression of cytoplasmic rather than nuclear YY1. Analysis of the regulation of YY1 localization in vitro demonstrated that polymerized gamma-actin sequestered EGFP-YY1 in the cytoplasm and that YY1 activation of c-myc promoter activity was inhibited by LIM kinase, which increases actin polymerization. Consistent with these data siRNA-mediated down-regulation of YY1 in C2C12 cells increased SM22-alpha expression and inhibited cell proliferation. Thus, actin polymerization controls subcellular YY1 localization, which contributes to vascular SMC proliferation and differentiation in normal pulmonary artery development. In the absence of actin depolymerization, YY1 does not relocate to the nucleus, and this lack of relocation may contribute to the pathobiology of pulmonary hypertension.
