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

introductionA common problem encountered in routine daily practice of cardiovascular surgery is migration of smooth muscle cells leading to intimal hyperplasia developing at vascular anastomosis sites which then causes luminal narrowing. The aim of this study was to investigate the antiproliferative effect of 1,25 (OH)2D3 on intimal hyperplasia. MATERIAL AND

methodsTwenty-one male white New Zealand rabbits weighing 2-3 kg were selected. There were 3 groups of animals each consisting of 7 rabbits. Group 1 was the control group. Group 2 was the sham group and group 3 consisted of rabbits receiving 1,25 (OH)2D3. The right carotid arteries of the subjects in groups 2 and 3 were transected and re-anastomosed. A daily dose of 25 ng 1,25 (OH)2D3 per 100 g body weight was administered for 14 days to rabbits in group 3. Rabbits in group 2 were not subject to any pharmaceutical agent. All the subjects were sacrificed at the end of the 28(th) postoperative day. Their right carotid arteries were resected and then investigated histopathologically.

resultsIntimal thickness and intimal area were measured as significantly lower in group 1 when compared with the other groups (p = 0.004). In group 3, the ratios of thickness of tunica intima/thickness of tunica media and area of tunica intima/area of tunica media were significantly lower than those of group 2 (p = 0.015, p = 0.003).

conclusions1,25 (OH)2D3, the active metabolite of vitamin D, reduces the intimal hyperplasia developing after vascular anastomoses.
