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

In flow-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), increased pulmonary blood flow is an essential trigger for neointimal formation. Using microarray analysis, we recently found that the early growth response protein 1 (Egr-1) transcription factor is increased in experimental flow-associated end-stage PAH. Its role in PAH development is unknown. Here, we assessed the spatiotemporal expression of Egr-1 during neointimal development in flow-associated PAH. Flow-associated PAH was produced in rats by combining monocrotaline administration with an aortocaval shunt. Animals were sacrificed 1 day before or 1 day, 1 week, or 4 to 5 weeks after flow addition. Egr-1 expression was spatiotemporally assessed using laser microdissection, quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry. In addition, Egr-1 expression was assessed in a non-neointimal pulmonary hypertension model and in human PAH associated with congenital shunt. In 4 to 5 weeks, rats subjected to increased flow developed PAH with neointimal lesions. Egr-1 mRNA was increased 1 day after flow addition and in end-stage PAH, whereas monocrotaline only did not result in increased Egr-1 mRNA. Directly after flow addition, Egr-1 was expressed in endothelial cells. During disease development, Egr-1 protein expression increased and migrated throughout the vessel wall. In PAH patients, Egr-1 was expressed in vessels with media hypertrophy and neointimal lesions, including plexiform lesions. Thus, Egr-1 may be an important regulator in the development of pulmonary neointimal lesions induced by increased pulmonary blood flow.
