Membrane trafficking and exocytosis are upregulated in port wine stain blood vessels.
Article in Histology and histopathology, 2019. 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
introductionPort wine stain (PWS) is characterized as a progressive dilatation of immature venule-like vasculatures which result from differentiation-impaired endothelial cells. In this study, we aimed to identify the major biological pathways accounting for the pathogenesis of PWS.
methodsSequential windowed acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion mass spectra (SWATH-MS) was used to identify differentially expressed proteins in PWS lesions, followed by confirmative studies with immunohistochemistry, immunoblot and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
results107 out of 299 identified proteins showed differential expressions in PWS lesions as compared to normal skin, mainly involving the functions of biosynthesis, membrane trafficking, cytoskeleton and cell adhesion/migration. The confirmative studies showed that expressions of membrane trafficking/exocytosis related proteins such as VAT1, IQGAP1, HSC70, clathrin, perlecan, spectrin α1 and GDIR1 were significantly increased in PWS blood vessels as compared to normal ones; while collagen subtypes 6A1 and 6A3 were decreased in PWS skin. Furthermore, TEM studies showed there is a significant upregulation of extracellular vesicle exocytosis from PWS blood vessels as compared to control.
conclusionsThe biological process of membrane trafficking and exocytosis is enhanced in PWS blood vessels. Our results imply that the extracellular vesicles released by lesional endothelial cells may act as potential intercellular signaling mediators to contribute to the pathogenesis of PWS.
