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

Extracellular pools of intracellular molecular chaperones are increasingly evident. The peri/epicellular(pec) pool of the endoplasmic reticulum redox chaperone protein disulfide isomerase-A1(PDI) is involved in thrombosis and vascular remodeling, while PDI externalization routes remain elusive. In endothelial cells, vesicular-type PDI secretion involves classical and unconventional pathways, while in platelets PDI exocytosis involves actin cytoskeleton. However, little is known about pecPDI in vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC). Here, we showed that VSMC display a robust cell-surface(cs) PDI pool, which binds to cs independently of electrostatic forces. However, contrarily to other cells, soluble secreted PDI pool was undetectable in VSMC. Calcium ionophore A23187 and TNFα enhanced VSMC csPDI. Furthermore, VSMC PDI externalization occurred via Golgi-bypass unconventional route, which was independent of cytoskeleton or lysosomes. Secreted PDI was absent in ex vivo wild-type mice aortas but markedly enhanced in PDI-overexpressing mice. Such characterization of VSMC pecPDI reinforces cell-type and context specific routes of PDI externalization.
