ArticleVascular investigation and therapy
Autologous tissue patches acquire vascular identity depending on the environment.
Article in Vascular investigation and therapy. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Vascular identity is genetically determined, but can be altered during surgical procedures. We hypothesized that the environment of the procedure critically alters the identity of autologous tissue patches implanted into the arterial or venous environment. Autologous jugular vein or carotid artery was used as a patch to repair a rat aorta or inferior vena cava. In the aortic environment patches contained neointimal cells that were CD34/Ephrin-B2-dual positive but not CD34/Eph-B4-dual positive; patches expressed Ephrin-B2, notch-4 and dll-4 but not Eph-B4 and COUP-TFII. In the venous environment patches contained neointimal cells that were CD34/Eph-B4-dual positive but not CD34/Ephrin-B2-dual positive; patches expressed Eph-B4 and COUP-TFII but not Ephrin-B2, notch-4 and dll-4. These data show that autologous tissue patches heal by acquisition of the vascular identity determined by the environment into which they are implanted, suggesting some plasticity of adult vascular identity.
