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

backgroundOscillatory shear stress (OSS) disrupts endothelial homeostasis and promotes oxidative stress, which can lead to atherosclerosis. In atherosclerotic lesions, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is highly expressed. However, the molecular mechanism by which TLR4 modulates oxidative changes and the cell signaling transudation upon OSS is yet to be determined. METHODS AND

resultsCarotid artery constriction (CAC) surgery and a parallel-plate flow chamber were used to modulate shear stress. The results showed that OSS significantly increased the oxidative burden, and this was partly due to TLR4 activation. OSS activated NOX2 and had no significant influence to NOX1 or NOX4 in endothelial cells (ECs). OSS phosphorylated caveolin-1, promoted its binding with endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and resulted in deactivation of eNOS. TLR4 inhibition restored levels of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in OSS-exposed cells.

conclusionTLR4 modulates OSS-induced oxidative stress by activating NOX2 and suppressing eNOS.
