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

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a key role in repairing the injured vascular endothelium by differentiating into mature endothelial cells (ECs) or secreting cytokines in a paracrine manner to promote proliferation of existing ECs. However, the mechanisms underlying the proliferation of EPCs were not fully understood. In order to investigate the mechanisms of EPC proliferation, we isolated EPCs from mononuclear cells of mouse spleens. By manipulating E2-2 expression in vitro, we observed that E2-2 negatively regulated the proliferation of EPCs. Moreover, we noted that E2-2 negatively regulated the autophagy of EPCs by studying the expression of LC3II and p62. We also demonstrated that an autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) decreased the proliferation of EPCs in a concentration-dependent manner. Interestingly, CQ reversed the increase in cell proliferation and autophagy in the E2-2 knockdown group. Furthermore, we detected the expression of autophagy‑related protein ATG7 in EPCs which had been transfected with small interfering (siRNA)‑E2-2 and siRNA‑autophagy related 7 (ATG7) or were untransfected. Our study revealed that E2-2 regulated EPC autophagy via mediating ATG7 expression. We conclude that E2-2 inhibited EPC proliferation via suppressing their autophagy, and E2-2 regulated EPC autophagy by mediating the expression of ATG7.
