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

Endogenous activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is required for normal vascular development. This biology led us to investigate the interplay between the AHR and vascular physiology by using an in vitro model of fluid shear stress. Using this system, we show that fluid flow induces a robust AHR-mediated increase in CYP1 expression. Furthermore, we demonstrate that incubation with sheared bovine or human sera is sufficient for AHR activation, indicating that direct cellular exposure to shear stress is not required for this response. Fractionation of sera by size and density revealed the AHR-activating factor to be low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Purified LDL (0.1 mg/ml) from sheared sera induces a 6-fold increase in AHR-mediated signaling as compared with LDL purified from static sera. Similar results were obtained by exposing a purified fraction of LDL to fluid flow, suggesting that shear stress is capable of directly modifying LDL structure and/or function. In addition, we show that LDL can be converted to an AHR-activating species by conventional methods of lipoprotein modification, such as NaOCl oxidation. Finally, we demonstrate that an increased level of AHR-activating LDL is present in the sera of AHR null mice as compared with heterozygous littermates, suggesting a role for the Ahr locus in the physiological response to modified LDL in vivo. Overall, these data demonstrate a previously undescribed relationship between LDL modification and AHR biology and provide a potential explanation for the vascular abnormalities observed in AHR null mice.
