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

Background Lymphatic vessels interconnect with blood vessels to form an elaborate system that aids in the control of tissue pressure and edema formation. Although the lymphatic system has been known to exist in a heart, little is known about the role the cardiac lymphatic system plays in the development of heart failure. Methods and Results Mice (C57 BL /6J, male, 8 to 12 weeks of age) were subjected to either myocardial ischemia or myocardial ischemia and reperfusion for up to 28 days. Analysis revealed that both models increased the protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C and VEGF receptor 3 starting at 1 day after the onset of injury, whereas a significant increase in lymphatic vessel density was observed starting at 3 days. Further studies aimed to determine the consequences of inhibiting the endogenous lymphangiogenesis response on the development of heart failure. Using 2 different pharmacological approaches, we found that inhibiting VEGF receptor 3 with MAZ -51 and blocking endogenous vascular endothelial growth factor C with a neutralizing antibody blunted the increase in lymphatic vessel density, blunted lymphatic transport, increased inflammation, increased edema, and increased cardiac dysfunction. Subsequent studies revealed that augmentation of the endogenous lymphangiogenesis response with vascular endothelial growth factor C treatment reduced inflammation, reduced edema, and improved cardiac dysfunction. Conclusions These results suggest that the endogenous lymphangiogenesis response plays an adaptive role in the development of ischemic-induced heart failure and supports the emerging concept that therapeutic lymphangiogenesis is a promising new approach for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
