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

objectiveThe role of myeloid cell cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the progression of atherosclerosis has not been clearly defined. METHODS AND

resultsWe investigated the role of COX-2 expressed in the myeloid lineage in the development of atherosclerosis using a myeloid-specific COX-2(-/-) (COX-2(-M/-M)) mouse on a hyperlipidemic apolipoprotein (apo) E(-/-) background (COX-2(-M/-M)/apoE(-/-)). Myeloid COX-2 depletion resulted in significant attenuation of acute inflammation corresponding with decreased PGE(2) levels in an air pouch model. COX-2 depletion in myeloid cells did not influence development of atherosclerosis in COX-2(-M/-M)/apoE(-/-) when compared to apoE(-/-) littermates fed either chow or western diets. The unanticipated lack of contribution of myeloid COX-2 to the development atherosclerosis is not attributable to altered maintenance, differentiation, or mobilization of myeloid and lymphoid populations. Moreover, myeloid COX-2 depletion resulted in unaltered serum prostanoid levels and cellular composition of atherosclerotic lesions of COX-2(-M/-M)/apoE(-/-) mice.

conclusionsOur results suggest that COX-2 expression in myeloid cells, including macrophages, does not influence the development of atherosclerosis in mice.
