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

Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive cation channel that is activated by shear stress in endothelial cells (ECs). It has been shown to mediate shear-induced EC responses, including increased calcium influx, and vascular functions, such as vascular tone and blood pressure. Yoda1, a selective Piezo1 activator, has been shown to mimic shear-induced responses in ECs. Since shear-induced calcium influx causes Akt and ERK1/2 activation in ECs, we examined the effects of Yoda1 and the role of Piezo1 on their activation. Here, we show that Yoda1 robustly activates Akt and ERK1/2 in ECs. Additionally, the Piezo1 antagonists, gadolinium and ruthenium red, but not GsMTx4, effectively blocks Yoda1-induced Akt activation. Our results suggest that Yoda1-induced Akt and ERK1/2 activation is not dependent on Piezo1.
