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 previous studies in our laboratory revealed that seven cysteine mutants of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) have different structural features and biological activities in vitro and in vivo. To investigate the potential cardioprotective effects of apolipoprotein A-I(N74C) [apoA-I(N74C)], we examined the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiatherosclerotic effects of this cysteine mutant in a rapid atherosclerosis model induced by perivascular carotid collar placement in apoE⁻/⁻ mice. Lipid-free apoA-I(N74C) showed a significant increased antioxidant potency in low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in vitro and reduced intracellular lipid accumulation in THP-1-derived macrophages, relative to wild-type apoA-I (apoA-Iwt). Mice injected with recombinant HDL (rHDL) reconstituted with apoA-I(N74C) (named rHDL74) through tail veins (40 mg/kg of body weight, three injections) had a significant lower level of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and enhanced serum antioxidation compared with mice receiving rHDL reconstituted with apoA-Iwt (named rHDLwt). Moreover, compared with rHDLwt, the rHDL74 in vivo injection resulted in a significant decrease in plaque size, ratio of aorta intima to media, arterial remodeling, and macrophage content in lesions. In summary, intravenous injection with rHDL74 reconstituted with apoA-I cysteine mutant apoA-I (N74C) dramatically delays the development of atherosclerosis induced by perivascular carotid collar placement and reduces vascular remodeling in the carotid artery in apoE⁻/⁻ mice.
