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

Secreted protein, acidic, and rich in cysteine (SPARC) is thought to regulate cell matrix interaction during wound repair. We hypothesized that SPARC might promote migration via integrin-dependent mechanisms. The present study was designed to clarify the contribution of SPARC in the wound healing process after myocardial infarction (MI). Adult mice received a specific alpha(v) integrin inhibitor or vehicle through osmotic mini pumps. Mice of each group were either sham-operated or MI was induced. SPARC expression was investigated 2 days, 7 days, and 1 month after the surgical procedure. For migration assays, a modified Boyden chamber assay was used. A transient increase of SPARC levels was observed, starting at day 2 (2.55+/-0.21), day 7 (3.72+/-0.28), and 1 month (1.9+/-0.16) after MI. After 2 months, SPARC expression dropped back to normal levels compared to sham-operated hearts. Immunofluorescence analysis showed an increase of SPARC in the infarcted area 2 days after MI, a strong increase in the scar area 7 days after MI, and only low levels in the scar area 2 months after MI. Integrin alpha(v) inhibition abolished the up-regulation of SPARC. In vitro migration assays demonstrated that fibronectin-stimulated haptotaxis of fibroblasts was modulated by SPARC. This study provides evidence that SPARC is significantly up-regulated in the infarcted region after MI. This up-regulation is dependent on alpha(v) integrins. As SPARC is found to regulate fibroblast migration, it appears to play an important role in the injured myocardium with regard to healing and scar formation.
