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

The retention of plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles to subendothelial spaces through transcytosis across the endothelium is the initial step of atherosclerosis (AS). Angiotensin II (Ang II), as the principal effector molecule of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), is implicated in several important steps of AS development. However, whether or not Ang II can directly exert a pro‑atherogenic effect by promoting LDL transcytosis across endothelial barriers, has not been defined. In the present study, we found that Ang II upregulated intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in endothelial cells (ECs) by measuring fluorescence of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF‑DA). Based on our transcytosis model, we observed that Ang II significantly accelerated LDL transcytosis, whereas transcytosis inhibitor methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) and ROS inhibitor dithiothreitol (DTT), markedly blocked the Ang II-stimulated increase in LDL transcytosis. Confocal imaging analysis revealed that both LDL uptake by cells and LDL retention in human umbilical venous walls were highly elevated after Ang II exposure, while MβCD and DTT significantly inhibited the effects of Ang II. What is more, proteins involved in caveolae-mediated transcytosis, including LDL receptor (LDLR), caveolin-1 and cavin-1, were associated with Ang II-induced LDL transcytosis across the ECs. Nevertheless, this process was independent of clathrin in our study. Of note, ROS inhibitor, DTT, markedly decreased the expression levels of those proteins. Consequently, ROS are critical mediators in Ang II-induced LDL transcytosis. Hopefully, these findings will provide novel insight into the crosstalk between dyslipidemia and RAS in atherogenesis.
