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.
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
backgroundTumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has the ability to inhibit angiogenesis by inducing endothelial cell death, as well as being able to promote pro-angiogenic activity in vitro. These seemingly opposite effects make its role in ischemic disease unclear. Using Trail(-/-) and wildtype mice, we sought to determine the role of TRAIL in angiogenesis and neovascularization following hindlimb ischemia. METHODS AND
resultsReduced vascularization assessed by real-time 3-dimensional Vevo ultrasound imaging and CD31 staining was evident in Trail(-/-) mice after ischemia, and associated with reduced capillary formation and increased apoptosis. Notably, adenoviral TRAIL administration significantly improved limb perfusion, capillary density, and vascular smooth-muscle cell content in both Trail(-/-) and wildtype mice. Fibroblast growth factor-2, a potent angiogenic factor, increased TRAIL expression in human microvascular endothelial cell-1, with fibroblast growth factor-2-mediated proliferation, migration, and tubule formation inhibited with TRAIL siRNA. Both fibroblast growth factor-2 and TRAIL significantly increased NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) expression. TRAIL-inducible angiogenic activity in vitro was inhibited with siRNAs targeting NOX4, and consistent with this, NOX4 mRNA was reduced in 3-day ischemic hindlimbs of Trail(-/-) mice. Furthermore, TRAIL-induced proliferation, migration, and tubule formation was blocked by scavenging H2O2, or by inhibiting nitric oxide synthase activity. Importantly, TRAIL-inducible endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation at Ser-1177 and intracellular human microvascular endothelial cell-1 cell nitric oxide levels were NOX4 dependent.
conclusionsThis is the first report demonstrating that TRAIL can promote angiogenesis following hindlimb ischemia in vivo. The angiogenic effect of TRAIL on human microvascular endothelial cell-1 cells is downstream of fibroblast growth factor-2, involving NOX4 and nitric oxide signaling. These data have significant therapeutic implications, such that TRAIL may improve the angiogenic response to ischemia and increase perfusion recovery in patients with cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
