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

aimMenopause causes arterial senescence and atherosclerotic development through decrease of estrogen. Recently, histone deacetylase SIRT1 has been reported to have protective effects against arterial senescence and atherosclerosis. However, the relationship between estrogen and SIRT1 in the context of menopause-induced arterial senescence is not well understood. The present study aims to investigate whether SIRT1 is involved in the etiology of menopause-induced arterial senescence and atherosclerotic development.

methodsTwelve-week old female apolipoprotein E-knockout (ApoE-KO) mice underwent ovariectomy (OVX) or sham surgery.

resultsSIRT1 expression and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation in the aorta were significantly lower in OVX mice than they were in sham mice (OVX vs. sham, n=5 per group). Senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity, protein expression of Ac-p53 and PAI-1, and aortic atherosclerosis lesions were significantly greater in OVX mice than they were in sham mice. Administration of 17β-estradiol (E2) for eight weeks to OVX mice restored aortic SIRT1 expression, activated eNOS, and retarded OVX-induced arterial senescence and atherosclerotic development (E2 vs. control, n=5 per group). The effects of E2 on SIRT1 upregulation, anti-senescence and anti-atherosclerosis were attenuated by administration of a SIRT1 inhibitor, sirtinol. In vitro experiment using human endothelial cells demonstrated that E2 also increased SIRT1 expression and retarded oxidized low density lipoprotein-induced premature senescence, which were also abolished by sirtinol. These results suggested that estrogen modulated arterial senescence and atherosclerosis through SIRT1. Additionally a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), bazedoxifene, also augmented SIRT1 and inhibited arterial senescence and atherosclerotic development (SERM vs. control, n=3 per group).

conclusionsDownregulation of SIRT1 causes OVX-induced arterial senescence and atherosclerosis in ApoE-KO mice. Administration of estrogen or SERM enables OVX mice to restore these alterations by SIRT1 induction.
