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

An analysis of rabbit cryopreserved aortic allografts excised on postoperative days (POD) 2, 5, 11, 60, 210, 360, and 720, as well as controls that were untransplanted native aortas and cryopreserved aortas, was performed. On POD2, the number of medial smooth muscle cells in the allografts was reduced to approximately 50%. Ki-67 analysis revealed that medial smooth muscle cells in the allografts proliferated from the 2nd day. By the 11th day, their proliferation ceased and the number of medial smooth muscle cells was restored to almost at the same level as in the controls. Polymorphic microsatellite DNA marker analysis disclosed that the restored medial smooth muscle cells were of donor origin. From 7 months through 2 years, the media of cryopreserved aortic allografts were transformed into acellular structures, in which the elastic fibers were preserved. On the other hand, newly accumulated smooth muscle cells were observed in the adventitia just outside of acellular media after 7 months. In some cases, scattered lamellar calcium deposition was observed in the same regions. This study presents a comprehensive documentation of regeneration and acellular transformation in cryopreserved aortic allografts based on short and long-term analysis.
