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

introductionMonocyte chemoattractant protein-1 is a bioactive molecule that is expressed in significant amounts in all stages of atherosclerosis. The role of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in this disease is to recruit monocytes across the endothelium and into the arterial tissue. Eventually, the monocytes differentiate into cholesterol-engorged macrophages called "foam cells" that result in atherosclerotic plaque formation. The mechanism that monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 uses to mediate monocyte transendothelial migration is believed to be via its concentration gradient. However, the formation of the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 concentration gradient in the extracellular matrix is still poorly understood.

methodsA three-dimensional in vitro vascular tissue model has been developed to study the cellular mechanisms involved in the early stages of atherosclerosis. In the present study, a mathematical model is used to determine the gradient of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in the collagen matrix of the three-dimensional in vitro vascular tissue model. Experiments were performed to investigate the stability of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and the interaction between monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and the collagen matrix. RESULTS AND

conclusionsMonocyte chemoattractant protein-1 is stable for at least 24 h under experimental conditions and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 interacts with the collagen matrix. The diffusion coefficient for the transport of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in the collagen matrix and the rate constant for the binding of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 to collagen were determined to be 0.108 mm(2) h(-1) and 0.858 h(-1), respectively. Numerical results from the model indicate that the concentration gradients of both soluble and matrix-bound (or static) monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 are formed inside the collagen matrix.
