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

purpose of reviewCentral nervous system (CNS) neurovascular units are multicellular complexes consisting of neurons and astrocytes, vascular endothelial cells and pericytes, as well as an assortment of growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Here, I will discuss the current knowledge of signaling networks essential for the development and physiology of CNS neurovascular units, particularly in the brain. RECENT

findingsMolecular genetic studies have identified various signaling proteins that regulate the formation and function of CNS neurovascular units. These include members of the integrin family of ECM adhesion receptors, ECM proteins such as Wnts and latent transforming growth factor betas, and various transcriptional regulators, including beta-catenin and the inhibitors of DNA binding (Ids). SUMMARY: Neurovascular units are the cellular and molecular interfaces between the circulatory system and the CNS. Recent molecular genetic analyses in mice and other model organisms have revealed the first mechanisms underlying bidirectional communication between neural and vascular components. In particular, ECM-mediated adhesion and signaling pathways have been identified as essential for neurovascular development and physiology. Understanding how these various gene products normally control neurovascular unit formation and function will lend new insights into the causes and possible treatments of debilitating neurovascular-related diseases such as birth defects, stroke, and age-related dementia.
