Laser-induced carotid artery injury model in the rat for therapeutic agent screening.

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
The aims of this study were to establish a rat model of carotid artery injury and to evaluate its suitability for evaluating therapeutic agents active against endothelial proliferation. Wistar-Kyoto rats were injected intravenously with the photochemically reactive dyes rose bengal or Evans blue, and the carotid artery was then focally irradiated with laser light of the appropriate wavelength. Histological sections of the carotid artery were analyzed to determine the appropriate parameters for this model. Ferulic acid was used to assess the suitability of this model for drug screening. No animal died as a result of the photochemical treatment. Endothelial proliferation in the carotid artery was observed in rats injected with rose Bengal and exposed to green laser light. Ferulic acid (400 mg/kg per day) significantly (p<0.05) reduced endothelial proliferation in the carotid artery 28 days after injury in dye-treated animals compared with vehicle-treated animals. This simple experimental rat model is suitable for studying factors inhibiting endothelial thickening after vessel damage and for developing therapeutic strategies active against endothelial proliferation.
