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

This study investigated the TNF-alpha-induced ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression on mouse lingual lymphatic vessels. All podoplanin-positive lymphatic vessels expressed PECAM-1. In the lamina propria mucosae of TNF-alpha-treated tongue, almost all initial lymphatics expressed ICAM-1. There were initial lymphatics with the VCAM-1 expression and also the vessels without the expression. In the tunica muscularis of TNF-alpha-treated tongue, collecting lymphatic vessels expressed ICAM-1, but rarely expressed VCAM-1 whereas blood vessels simultaneously expressed ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. The ICAM-1-positive rate increased with TNF-alpha to 75% from 10% on initial lymphatics, and to 40% from 0% on collecting lymphatic vessels while it increased to 90% from 45% on blood vessels. The VCAM-1-positive rate increased with TNF-alpha to 30% from 0% on initial lymphatics, and to 5% from 0% on collecting lymphatic vessels while it increased to 75% from 5% on blood vessels. These findings suggest that the lingual lymphatic endothelium has the ability to express ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 to a lesser extent than the ICAM-1 induction with TNF-alpha, and that the ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 induction predominantly occurs in the initial lymphatics compared with collecting lymphatic vessels.
