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

backgroundPersistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is associated with decreased lung angiogenesis and impaired pulmonary vasodilatation at birth. Prostanoids are important modulators of vascular tone and angiogenesis. We hypothesized that altered levels of prostacyclin (PGI₂), a potent vasodilator, and thromboxane A₂ (TXA₂), a vasoconstrictor, contribute to impaired angiogenesis of pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAEC) in PPHN.

methodsPAEC were isolated from fetal lambs with PPHN induced by prenatal ductus arteriosus constriction or from sham operated controls. Expression and activity of PGI₂ synthase (PGIS) and TXA₂ synthase (TXAS), expression of cyclooxygenases 1 and 2 (COX-1 and COX-2), and the role of PGIS/TXAS alterations in angiogenesis were investigated in PAEC from PPHN and control lambs.

resultsPGIS protein and activity were decreased and PGIS protein tyrosine nitration was increased in PPHN PAEC. In contrast, TXAS protein and its stimulated activity were increased in PPHN PAEC. COX-1 and COX-2 proteins were decreased in PPHN PAEC. Addition of PGI₂ improved in vitro tube formation by PPHN PAEC, whereas indomethacin decreased tube formation by control PAEC. PGIS knockdown decreased the in vitro angiogenesis in control PAEC, whereas TXAS knockdown increased the in vitro angiogenesis in PPHN PAEC.

conclusionReciprocal alterations in PGI₂ and TXA₂ may contribute to impaired angiogenesis in PPHN.
