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

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) may play roles at intracellular and extracellular sites of the heart in ischaemia/reperfusion injury. Caveolins (Cav-1, -2 and -3) are lipid raft proteins which play roles in cell sig-nalling. This study examined, using immunohistochemistry and two photon confocal microscopy, if MMP-2 and caveolins co-localize at the plasma membrane of cardiac cells: cardiomyocytes (CM), fibroblasts (FB) and capillary endothelial cells (CEC) in the left ventricle (LV) of the Cav-1(+/+) and Cav-1(-/-) mouse heart. In Cav-1(+/+) mouse LV MMP-2 and Cav-1 co-localized at CM plasma membranes, and at multiple locations in FB and CEC. MMP-2 co-localized with Cav-2 only at CEC. MMP-2 co-localized with Cav-3 at CM plasma membranes and Z-lines, and partially at FB and CEC. In Cav-1(-/-) LV Cav-1 and MMP-2 were absent or reduced everywhere. Cav-2 appeared at CEC despite the absence of Cav-1. Cav-3 appeared at CM plasma membranes and Z-lines, FB and CEC. Also, FAK in FB and c-Kit in interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLC) were completely absent. By transmission electron microscopy in Cav-1(+/+), regular size caveolae (Cav) were at CEC, irregular size Cav were at CM and a few were at FB. In Cav-1(-/-) there were few Cav at CM and FB and some at CEC. To conclude, MMP-2 is closely associated with caveolins at FB and CEC as well as at CM. Also, MMP-2 is closely associated with FAK at FB and c-Kit at ICLC. Thus, Cav-1 expression is not necessary for Cav-2 expression. Cav-3 or Cav-3 with Cav-2 has the capability to make Cav.
