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 endothelial cells (ECs) play central roles in physiologically important functions of blood vessels and contribute to the maintenance of vascular integrity. Therefore, it is considered that the impairment of EC functions leads to the development of vascular diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms of the EC dysfunctions that accompany senescence and aging have not yet been clarified. The carbohydrate antigens carried by glycoconjugates (e.g. glycoproteins, glycosphingolipids, and proteoglycans) mainly present on the cell surface serve not only as marker molecules but also as functional molecules. In this study, we have investigated the abundance and functional roles of glycosphingolipids in human ECs during senescence and aging. Among glycosphingolipids, ganglioside GM1 was highly expressed in abundance on the surface of replicatively and prematurely senescent ECs and also of ECs derived from an elderly subject. Insulin signaling, which regulates important functions of ECs, is impaired in senescent and aged ECs. Actually, by down-regulating GM1 on senescent ECs and overloading exogenous GM1 onto non-senescent ECs, we showed that an increased abundance of GM1 functionally contributes to the impairment of insulin signaling in ECs. Taken together, these findings provide the first evidence that GM1 increases in abundance on the cell surface of ECs under the conditions of cellular senescence and aging and causes insulin resistance in ECs. GM1 may be an attractive target for the detection, prevention, and therapy of insulin resistance and related vascular diseases, particularly in older people.
