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

Atherosclerotic plaque preferentially develops in arterial curvatures and branching regions, where endothelial cells constantly experience disturbed blood flow. By contrast, the straight arteries are generally protected from plaque formation due to exposure of endothelial cells to vaso-protective laminar blood flow. However, the role of flow patterns on endothelial barrier function remains largely unclear. This study aimed to investigate new mechanisms underlying the blood flow pattern-regulated endothelial integrity. Exposure of human endothelial cells to pulsatile shear (PS, mimicking the laminar flow) compared to oscillatory shear (OS, mimicking the disturbed flow) increased the expressions of long non-coding RNA MALAT1 and tight junction proteins ZO1 and Occludin. This increase was abolished by knocking down MALAT1 or Nesprin1 and 2. PS promoted the association between Nesprin1 and SUN2 at the nuclear envelopes, and induced a nuclear translocation of β-catenin, likely through enhancing the interaction between β-catenin and Nesprin1.
