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

Neointima formation causes the failure of 60% of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) within 2 years. Neointima-forming mechanisms are controversial but possibly linked to excess proinflammatory responses and dysregulated Notch signaling. To identify how AVFs fail, we anastomosed the carotid artery to the internal jugular vein in normal and uremic mice and compared these findings with those in failed AVFs from patients with ESRD. Endothelial cells (ECs) of AVFs in uremic mice or patients expressed mesenchymal markers (FSP-1 and/or α-SMA) and exhibited increased expression and nuclear localization of Notch intracellular domain compared with ECs of AVFs in pair-fed control mice. Furthermore, expression of VE-Cadherin decreased, whereas expression of Notch1 and -4, Notch ligands, the downstream transcription factor of Notch, RBP-Jκ, and Notch target genes increased in ECs of AVFs in uremic mice. In cultured ECs, ectopic expression of Notch ligand or treatment with TGF-β1 triggered the expression of mesenchymal markers and induced endothelial cell barrier dysfunction, both of which were blocked by Notch inhibition or RBP-Jκ knockout. Furthermore, Notch-induced defects in barrier function, invasion of inflammatory cells, and neointima formation were suppressed in mice with heterozygous knockdown of endothelial-specific RBP-Jκ. These results suggest that increased TGF-β1, a complication of uremia, activates Notch in endothelial cells of AVFs, leading to accelerated neointima formation and AVF failure. Suppression of Notch activation could be a strategy for improving AFV function in uremia.
