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

objectiveAbdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development has been characterized by increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which contributes to angiogenesis via cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Quercetin, one of the most common and well-researched flavonoids and abundant in vegetables and fruits, has beneficial effects in inhibiting angiogenesis. This study investigated the antiangiogenic effects of quercetin on experimental aneurysms.

methodsWe utilized the in vivo AAA mouse model induced by the periaortic application of CaCl

resultsOur results demonstrated that quercetin significantly attenuated aneurysm growth in AAA mice and medial neovascularization. Accordingly, quercetin decreased the expression of proangiogenic mediators, including VEGF-A, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, and vascular endothelial cadherin. Quercetin treatment also inhibited the expression of COX-2 and hypoxia-inducible factor 1

conclusionQuercetin attenuates neovascularization during AAA growth, and this effect is mediated via the inhibition of COX-2, which decreases HIF-1
