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

Extensive studies into the etiology of aortic aneurysm disease have focused on the characteristic and unique inflammatory infiltration and elaboration of products of inflammatory cells which can result in matrix degradation. While these changes clearly have a significant impact on the development of aneurysm disease, little attention has been paid to the changes in the parenchymal cells of the aorta. Under normal conditions, the vascular smooth muscle cells which populate the aortic wall are responsible for the maintenance of the matrix components of the media, particularly the elastic fibers. As our understanding of the mechanisms of aneurysm formation and normal arterial anatomy become more sophisticated, it is clear that specific changes to these smooth muscle cells make them active participants in the medial matrix destruction characteristic of aneurysm disease. As others have described for intimal arterial disease, this is the "soil" from which aortic aneurysms grow.
