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

Over the past decade, extensive research has focused on identifying the molecular mechanisms and signal transduction pathways involved in the modulation of vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypes. In the present review, the characteristics of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypes as they relate to cell migration are discussed based on insights from recent molecular findings. A central theme is the mechanisms involved in nonpathogenic VSMC migration during tissue repair versus VSMC invasion that leads to the development of vascular diseases. The issue of how various factors that are released locally following tissue injury influence cell migration will also be addressed.
