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

Accumulating evidence suggests an important role of Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinease (PI3K) pathway in inflammatory cells infiltration. Given  the essential role of inflammatory cells infiltration during the formation and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), to investigate the possibility of preventing AAA formation and progression via targeting PI3K is anticipated. Here, experimental AAAs was created in rats by transient intraluminal porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) infusion into the infrarenal aorta firstly. AAAs rats were administrated with vehicle or Wortmannin during the period of day 0 to day 28 after PPE infusion. The aortic diameter of rats treated with Wortmannin was significantly smaller than those treated with vehicle. Meanwhile, Elastin destruction score and SMC destruction score were significantly decreased in rats treated with Wortmannin. Furthermore, histological analysis revealed infiltration of inflammatory cells were significantly reduced in rats treated with Wortmannin. Finally, the mRNA expression of PI3K and protein expression of pAKT in human abdominal aneurismal aorta tissues was elevated as compare to normal aorta. Our study revealed that PI3K inhibitor suppresses experimental AAAs formation and progression, through mechanisms likely related to impairing inflammation cells infiltration and median elastin degradation. These findings indicated that PI3K inhibitor may hold substantial translation value for AAA diseases.
