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

backgroundFabry disease (FD) is a recessive X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by α-galactosidase A (GLA) deficiency. Although the mechanism is unclear, GLA deficiency causes an accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), leading to vasculopathy.

methodsTo explore the relationship between the accumulation of Gb3 and vasculopathy, induced pluripotent stem cells generated from four Fabry patients (FD-iPSCs) were differentiated into vascular endothelial cells (VECs). Genome editing using CRISPR-Cas9 system was carried out to correct the GLA mutation or to delete Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1). Global transcriptomes were compared between wild-type (WT)- and FD-VECs by RNA-sequencing analysis.

findingsHere, we report that overexpression of TSP-1 contributes to the dysfunction of VECs in FD. VECs originating from FD-iPSCs (FD-VECs) showed aberrant angiogenic functionality even upon treatment with recombinant α-galactosidase. Intriguingly, FD-VECs produced more p-SMAD2 and TSP-1 than WT-VECs. We also found elevated TSP-1 in the peritubular capillaries of renal tissues biopsied from FD patients. Inhibition of SMAD2 signaling or knock out of TSP-1 (TSP-1

interpretationThe overexpression of TSP-1 secondary to Gb3 accumulation is primarily responsible for the observed FD-VEC dysfunction. Our findings implicate dysfunctional VEC angiogenesis in the peritubular capillaries in some of the complications of Fabry disease.
