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

aimInflammation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). AEBP1 can promote activation of the NF-κB pathway, subsequently affecting the expression of NF-κB target genes, including inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Our objective was to examine the role of AEBP1 in the development of AAA and characterize the underlying mechanism.

methodsITRAQ, RT-PCR, western blot, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA were used to compare different experimental groups with the controls and to determine the differentially expressed genes. We generated an AAA model using porcine pancreatic elastase in Sprague-Dawley rats and silenced their AEBP1 in vivo by adenoviruses injected intra-adventitially. We also silenced or overexpressed AEBP1 in human vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro in the presence and in the absence of NF-κB inhibitor BAY 11-7082.

resultsProteome iTRAQ revealed a high expression of AEBP1 in AAA patients, which was verified by qRT-PCR, western blot, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA. The mean expression level of AEBP1 in AAA patients was higher than that in controls. Along with AEBP1 upregulation, we also verified mis-activation of NF-κB in human AAA samples. The in vivo studies indicated that AEBP1 knockdown suppressed AAA progression. Finally, the in vitro studies illustrated that AEBP1 promotes activation of the NF-κB pathway, subsequently upregulating pro-inflammatory factors and MMPs.

conclusionsOur results indicate a role of AEBP1 in the pathogenesis of AAA and provide a novel insight into how AEBP1 causes the development of AAA by activating the NF-κB pathway.
