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

The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) is comprised of billions of neurons and glia that are intertwined with an elaborate network of blood vessels. These various neural and vascular cell types actively converse with one another to form integrated, multifunctional complexes, termed neurovascular units. Cell-cell communication within neurovascular units promotes normal CNS development and homeostasis, and abnormal regulation of these events leads to a variety of debilitating CNS diseases. This review will summarize (1) cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate physiological assembly and maintenance of neurovascular units; and (2) signaling events that induce pathological alterations in neurovascular unit formation and function. An emphasis will be placed on neural-vascular cell adhesion events mediated by integrins and their extracellular matrix (ECM) ligands. I will highlight the role of a specific adhesion and signaling axis involving alphavbeta8 integrin, latent transforming growth factor beta's (TGFbeta's), and canonical TGFbeta receptors. Possible functional links between components of this axis and other signal transduction cascades implicated in neurovascular development and disease will be discussed. Comprehensively understanding the pathways that regulate bidirectional neural-vascular cell contact and communication will provide new insights into the mechanisms of neurovascular unit development, physiology and disease.
