In one paragraph

Review in Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05169502 (Identification of Biomarkers for Early Detection of Diabetes Complications by Characterisation of Circulating Endothelial Cells in Human Blood Using Single-cell RNA Sequencing.), which is not on this map. Cited by 414 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

The endothelial lining of blood vessels shows remarkable heterogeneity in structure and function, in time and space, and in health and disease. An understanding of the molecular basis for phenotypic heterogeneity may provide important insights into vascular bed-specific therapies. First, we review the scope of endothelial heterogeneity and discuss its proximate and evolutionary mechanisms. Second, we apply these principles, together with their therapeutic implications, to a representative vascular bed in disease, namely, tumor endothelium.
