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

Accelerated atherosclerosis diminishes the long term patency of vascular interventions, such as percutaneous coronary intervention and implantation of saphenous vein grafts. However, the cause of this accelerated atherosclerosis is unclear. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that intimal hyperplasia formed following vascular intervention promotes retention of atherogenic lipoproteins. Intimal hyperplasia was surgically induced in the mouse common carotid artery. The surgery was combined with different mouse models of hypercholesterolemia to obtain different cholesterol levels and to control the onsets of hypercholesterolemia. Three weeks after surgery, samples were immunostained for apoB lipoproteins, smooth muscle cells and leukocytes. Already at mild hypercholesterolemia (193 mg/dL), pronounced apoB lipoprotein retention was found in the extracellular matrix in both intimal hyperplasia and the injured underlying media. In contrast, minimal retention was detected in the uninjured proximal region of the same vessel, or in vessels from mice with normal cholesterol levels (81 mg/dL). Induction of aggravated hypercholesterolemia 3 weeks after surgery, when a mature intimal hyperplasia had been formed, caused a very rapid development of atherosclerotic lesions. Mechanistically, we show that lipoprotein retention was almost exclusively dependent on electrostatic interactions to proteoglycan glycosaminoglycans, and the lipoprotein retention to intimal hyperplasia could be inhibited in vivo using glycosaminoglycan-binding antibodies. Thus, formation of intimal hyperplasia following vascular intervention makes the vessel wall highly susceptible for lipoprotein retention and accelerated atherosclerosis. The increased lipoprotein retention in intimal hyperplasia can be targeted by blocking the interaction between apoB lipoproteins and glycosaminoglycans in the extracellular matrix.
