Potential role of insulin receptor isoforms and IGF receptors in plaque instability of human and experimental atherosclerosis.

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
backgroundClinical complications associated with atherosclerotic plaques arise from luminal obstruction due to plaque growth or destabilization leading to rupture. We previously demonstrated that overexpression of insulin receptor isoform A (IRA) and insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) confers a proliferative and migratory advantage to vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) promoting plaque growth in early stages of atherosclerosis. However, the role of insulin receptor (IR) isoforms, IGF-IR or insulin-like growth factor-II receptor (IGF-IIR) in VSMCs apoptosis during advanced atherosclerosis remains unclear.
methodsWe evaluated IR isoforms expression in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques by consecutive immunoprecipitations of insulin receptor isoform B (IRB) and IRA. Western blot analysis was performed to measure IGF-IR, IGF-IIR, and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression in human plaques. The expression of those proteins, as well as the presence of apoptotic cells, was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in experimental atherosclerosis using BATIRKO; ApoE
resultsWe observed a significant decrease of IRA/IRB ratio in human complicated plaques as compared to non-complicated regions. Moreover, complicated plaques showed a reduced IGF-IR expression, an increased IGF-IIR expression, and lower levels of α-SMA indicating a loss of VSMCs. In experimental atherosclerosis, we found a significant decrease of IRA with an increased IRB expression in aorta from 24-week-old BATIRKO; ApoE
conclusionsIn advanced human atherosclerosis, a reduction of IRA/IRB ratio, decreased IGF-IR expression, or increased IGF-IIR may contribute to VSMCs apoptosis, promoting plaque instability and increasing the risk of plaque rupture and its clinical consequences.
