Detection of Pathological Changes in the Aorta during Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Progression on Molecular Level.
Article in Disease markers, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The progression of thoracic aortic aneurysm depends on regulation of aortic wall homeostasis and on changes in the structural components of the extracellular matrix, which are affected by multiple molecular signalling pathways. We decided to correlate the diameter of ascending thoracic aneurysm with gene expression of inflammation markers (IL-6, CRP), cytokine receptors (IL-6R, TNFR1, and TNFR2), and extracellular matrix components (Emilin-1, MMP9, and TIMP) for detection of the degree of pathological process of TAA formation. The experimental group was divided into three groups according to the diameter of the aortic aneurysm. Whole blood and tissue samples were properly collected and used for nucleic acid, chromatin, and protein isolation. The mRNA levels were detected by qRT-PCR. For the detection of protein levels a Cytokine Array IV assay kit was used in combination with a biochip analyzer. In aortic tissue, significant positive correlations were found between increased mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines (CRP and IL-6) on both mRNA levels in tissue and protein from the blood with maximum in stage 3. Changes of gene expression of selected genes can be used for the experimental study of the inflammatory receptor inhibitors during trials targeted on slowing down the progress of aortic wall aneurysm.
