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

Mitochondria contribute to key processes of cellular function, while mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, in which angiogenesis - the formation of new blood capillaries - is dysregulated. The Hippo signaling transducer, Yes-associated protein (YAP1) binds to the TEA domain (TEAD1) transcription factor and controls angiogenesis. YAP1 also regulates glucose metabolism through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1-alpha (PGC1α), a major player controlling mitochondrial biogenesis. However, the role of YAP1-TEAD1-PGC1α signaling in mitochondrial structure, cellular metabolism, and angiogenesis in endothelial cells (ECs) remains unclear. We now find that knockdown of TEAD1 decreases the expression of PGC1α and suppresses mitochondrial biogenesis, glycolysis, and oxygen consumption in ECs. A YAP1 mutant construct, YAP1S127A, which stimulates binding of YAP1 to TEAD1, upregulates the expression of PGC1α, induces mitochondrial biogenesis, and increases oxygen consumption and glycolytic flux in ECs; in contrast, YAP1S94A, which fails to bind to TEAD1, attenuates these effects. PGC1α knockdown inhibits YAP1S127A-induced EC sprouting in vitro and vascular morphogenesis in the fibrin gel subcutaneously implanted on mice, while overexpression of PGC1α reverses vascular morphogenesis suppressed by YAP1S94A. These results suggest that YAP1-TEAD1 signaling induces mitochondrial biogenesis in ECs and stimulates angiogenesis through PGC1α. Modulation of YAP1-TEAD1-PGC1α signaling in ECs may provide a novel intervention for angiogenesis-related diseases.
