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

Low molecular weight fucoidan (LMWF) is a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from Saccharina Japonica that presents high affinity for P-selectin and abolish selectin-dependent recruitment of leukocytes. We hypothesized that dietary intake of LMWF, as a competitive binding agent of P‑selectin, could limit the inflammatory infiltration and aneurysmal growth in an Angiotensin II‑induced abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) mouse model. The Gene Expression Omnibus database was used for gene expressions and gene set enrichment analysis. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis showed that focal adhesion was involved in the development of AAA. However, dietary intake of LMWF could limit the enlargement of AAA, decreasing maximal aortic diameter and preserving elastin lamellae. Although LMWF did not decrease the circulatory monocytes count and lower the expression of P‑selectin in endothelium, it reduced macrophages infiltration in media and adventitia. Furthermore, matrix metalloproteinase expression was markedly downregulated, accompanied with reduced expression of inflammatory mediators, including interleukin 1β, tumor necrosis factor‑α and monocyte chemotactic protein‑1. The present study revealed a novel target for the treatment of AAA and the anti‑inflammatory effects of LMWF.
