Tissue factor pathway inhibitor suppresses the growth of human vascular smooth muscle cells through regulating cell cycle.

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.
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
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) was reported to suppress the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) which play an important role in several vascular proliferative disorders including restenosis. Our preliminary studies demonstrated that TFPI gene induced apoptosis in human vascular smooth muscle cells (hVSMCs). The current study was designed to address the role TFPI gene plays in the cell cycle of hVSMCs. hVSMCs isolated from human umbilical artery were transfected with pIRES-TFPI plasmid which expresses TFPI in eukaryotic cells. As measured by RT-PCR, the expression of TFPI was elevated in the TFPI treated cells, leading to the arrest of the cells at G1 phase as analyzed by flow cytometry. Further study by Western blotting demonstrated that TFPI gene transfer increased the amount of p21 and p53 and decreased the amount of cyclin D and phosphorylated cdk4 and cdk6 in the cells.
