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

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are involved in endothelial repair. However, the function of EPCs is impaired in the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, upregulation of functional gene expression and bioactive substance production such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and mRNA expression in EPCs may contribute to the maintenance of EPC-related endothelial repair. EPCs from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were exposed to in vitro 5, 15 and 25 dyn/cm(2) shear stress for 5, 15 and 25 h, respectively. Shear stress in a dose- and time-dependent fashion increased Cu/Zn SOD activity of human EPCs. Shear stress also upregulated the Cu/Zn SOD mRNA expression of human EPCs, indicating that an increase in Cu/Zn SOD activity induced by shear stress was mediated by enhanced transcription. Our data are the first time to show that in vitro shear stress enhances mRNA expression and activity of Cu/Zn SOD in human EPCs, suggesting that shear stress can be used as a novel Means of manipulation to improve functional potential of EPCs. The augmentation in copper/zinc-containing enzyme (Cu/Zn SOD), with subsequent accelerated superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) inactivation, might increase locally nitric oxide (NO) biological availability, which contributes to EPC-related vascular protection.
