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

Vascular injury that results in proliferation and dedifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is an important contributor to restenosis following percutaneous coronary interventions or plaque rupture. Protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR1) has been shown to play a role in vascular repair processes; however, little is known regarding its function or the relative roles of the upstream proteases thrombin and matrix metalloprotease-1 (MMP-1) in triggering PAR1-mediated arterial restenosis. The goal of this study was to determine whether noncanonical MMP-1 signaling through PAR1 would contribute to aberrant vascular repair processes in models of arterial injury. A mouse carotid arterial wire injury model was used for studies of neointima hyperplasia and arterial stenosis. The mice were treated post-injury for 21 days with a small molecule inhibitor of MMP-1 or a direct thrombin inhibitor and compared with vehicle control. Intimal and medial hyperplasia was significantly inhibited by 2.8-fold after daily treatment with the small molecule MMP-1 inhibitor, an effect that was lost in PAR1-deficient mice. Conversely, chronic inhibition of thrombin showed no benefit in suppressing the development of arterial stenosis. Thrombin-PAR1 signaling resulted in a supercontractile, differentiated phenotype in SMCs. Noncanonical MMP-1-PAR1 signaling resulted in the opposite effect and led to a dedifferentiated phenotype via a different G protein pathway. MMP-1-PAR1 significantly stimulated hyperplasia and migration of SMCs, and resulted in down-regulation of SMC contractile genes. These studies provide a new mechanism for the development of vascular intimal hyperplasia and suggest a novel therapeutic strategy to suppress restenosis by targeting noncanonical MMP-1-PAR1 signaling in vascular SMCs.
