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

purpose of reviewAtherosclerosis is a complicated cardiovascular disease characterized by unbalanced lipid metabolism and unresolved inflammation that occurred inside of arteries. The transcytosis of LDL across the endothelium and its accumulation in the arterial wall is the initial step of atherosclerosis. Here, we summarize recent research into the understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of endothelial LDL transcytosis and its relevance in the development of atherosclerosis. RECENT

findingsA number of recent studies have revealed the contribution of caveolae, activin-like kinase 1 (ALK1) or scavenger receptor B1 (SR-B1) in endothelial LDL transcytosis and the progression of atherosclerosis. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1), the major protein component in caveolae, is required for the formation of caveolae and caveolae-mediated LDL uptake and transcytosis across the endothelium. SR-B1 and ALK1 directly bind LDL and facilitate the transport of LDL through the endothelial cells. The change in expression of caveolae-associated proteins and SR-B1 regulates endothelial LDL transcytosis and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. SUMMARY: Caveolae, ALK1 and SR-B1 are identified as key regulators in the LDL transcytosis across the endothelium. Endothelial LDL transcytosis might be a potential therapeutic approach to limit the initiation of early atherosclerosis and treat the atherosclerotic vascular diseases.
