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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesVascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and migration play a critical role in neointimal formation. Focal adhesion is involved in cell proliferation and migration, and talin is known to be a key regulator of these processes. We synthesized a new talin modulator that binds to the talin protein, and investigated its effects on SMCs and neointimal formation after vascular injury.

methodsHuman aortic SMCs (HAoSMCs) were treated with a newly synthesized talin modulator. Apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE KO) mice were subjected to left femoral arterial injury and orally administered with the talin modulator daily. Laser Doppler imager was used to compare the blood flow, and injured femoral arteries and blood serum were analyzed after 28 days.

resultsThe talin modulator significantly inhibited cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner and suppressed the migration of HAoSMCs. Treatment with a talin modulator resulted in a significant reduction in the phosphorylation of focal adhesion molecules and downstream signaling molecules related to cell proliferation and migration. The effects of the talin modulator in HAoSMCs were found to be reversible, as evidenced by the reactivation of signaling pathways upon its removal. After 28 days of administration of the talin modulator, an improvement in the blood flow and reduction in neointimal formation in the injured femoral arteries were observed.

conclusionsWe demonstrated the inhibitory effects of a talin modulator on SMC proliferation and migration, and that were associated with downregulation of signaling pathways, resulting in the attenuation of neointimal formation in ApoE KO mice.
