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

aimsCaveolae are membrane microdomains where important signalling pathways are assembled and molecular effects transduced. In this study, we hypothesized that shear stress-mediated vasodilation (SSD) of mouse small coronary arteries (MCA) is caveolae-dependent. METHODS AND

resultsMCA (80-150 μm) isolated from wild-type (WT) and caveolin-1 null (Cav-1(-/-)) mice were subjected to physiological levels of shear stress (1-25 dynes/cm(2)) with and without pre-incubation of inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME), cyclooxygenase (indomethacin, INDO), or cytochrome P450 epoxygenase (SKF 525A). SSD was endothelium-dependent in WT and Cav-1(-/-) coronaries but that in Cav-1(-/-) was significantly diminished compared with WT. Pre-incubation with L-NAME, INDO, or SKF 525A significantly reduced SSD in WT but not in Cav-1(-/-) mice. Vessels from the soluble epoxide hydrolase null (Ephx2(-/-)) mice showed enhanced SSD, which was further augmented by the presence of arachidonic acid. In donor-detector-coupled vessel experiments, Cav-1(-/-) donor vessels produced diminished dilation in WT endothelium-denuded detector vessels compared with WT donor vessels. Shear stress elicited a robust intracellular Ca(2+) increase in vascular endothelial cells isolated from WT but not those from Cav-1(-/-) mice.

conclusionIntegrity of caveolae is critical for endothelium-dependent SSD in MCA. Cav-1(-/-) endothelium is deficient in shear stress-mediated generation of vasodilators including NO, prostaglandins, and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids. Caveolae plays a critical role in endothelial signal transduction from shear stress to vasodilator production and release.
