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

Remodeling of injured blood vessels is dependent on smooth muscle cells and matrix metalloproteinase activity. Doxycycline is a broad spectrum matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor that is under investigation for the treatment of acute coronary syndromes and aneurysms. In the present study, we examine the mechanisms by which doxycycline inhibits smooth muscle cell responses using a series of in vitro assays that mimic critical steps in pathological vascular remodeling. Doxycycline treatment dramatically increased smooth muscle cell adhesion to the substrate, as evidenced by interference reflection microscopy and immunostaining for paxillin and phosphotyrosine. Cell aggregation was also potentiated after treatment with doxycycline. Treatment with 104 mumol/L doxycycline reduced thymidine uptake by 58% compared with untreated cells (P < 0.05) and inhibited closure of a scrape wound made in a smooth muscle cell monolayer by 20% (P < 0.05). Contraction of a three-dimensional collagen gel was used as an in vitro model for constrictive vessel remodeling, demonstrating that treatment with 416 mumol/L doxycycline for 12 hours inhibited collagen gel remodeling by 37% relative to control (P < 0.05). In conclusion, we have shown that doxycycline treatment leads to dramatically increased smooth muscle cell adhesion, which in turn might limit responses in pathological vascular remodeling.
