Dual Function for Mature Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells During Arteriovenous Fistula Remodeling.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers.
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
backgroundThe arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred form of hemodialysis access for patients with chronic kidney disease. However, AVFs are associated with significant problems including high incidence of both early and late failures, usually attributed to inadequate venous arterialization and neointimal hyperplasia, respectively. Understanding the cellular basis of venous remodeling in the setting of AVF could provide targets for improving AVF patency rates. METHODS AND
resultsA novel vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) lineage tracing reporter mouse, Myh11-Cre/ERT2-mTmG, was used to track mature VSMCs in a clinically relevant AVF mouse model created by a jugular vein branch end to carotid artery side anastomosis. Prior to AVF surgery, differentiated medial layer VSMCs were labeled with membrane green fluorescent protein (GFP) following tamoxifen induction. Four weeks after AVF surgery, we observed medial VSMC layer thickening in the middle region of the arterialized vein branch. This thickened medial VSMC layer was solely composed of differentiated VSMCs that were GFP+/MYH11+/Ki67-. Extensive neointimal hyperplasia occurred in the AVF region proximal to the anastomosis site. Dedifferentiated VSMCs (GFP+/MYH11-) were a major cellular component of the neointima. Examination of failed human AVF samples revealed that the processes of VSMC phenotypic modulation and intimal hyperplasia, as well as medial VSMC layer thickening, also occurred in human AVFs.
conclusionsWe demonstrated a dual function for mature VSMCs in AVF remodeling, with differentiated VSMCs contributing to medial wall thickening towards venous maturation and dedifferentiated VSMCs contributing to neointimal hyperplasia. These results provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying venous adaptations during AVF remodeling.
