Impaired lipophagy in endothelial cells with prolonged exposure to oxidized low‑density lipoprotein.

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.
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
Oxidative stress induces the formation of oxidized low‑density lipoprotein (ox‑LDL), which accelerates the development of atherosclerosis and the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques by promoting lipid accumulation and inhibiting autophagy in vascular cells. Lipophagy is known to be involved in maintaining the balance of neutral lipid metabolism; however, the phenomenon of lipophagy deficiency in ox‑LDL‑treated endothelial cells (ECs) remains to be elucidated. It has been demonstrated that lipid accumulation caused by ox‑LDL inhibits autophagy, which promotes apoptosis in ECs. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between decreased autophagy and lipid accumulation in ECs treated with ox‑LDL. Electron microscopy demonstrated that the formation of autolipophagosomes was decreased in ox‑LDL‑treated human umbilical vein ECs compared with that in the LDL‑treated group and was accompanied by a decrease in the autophagy‑associated proteins via western blotting analysis. Using laser focal colocalization detection, decreased lipid processing was observed in the lysosomes of ox‑LDL‑treated ECs, which indicated that lipophagy may be attenuated and subsequently result in lipid accumulation in ox‑LDL‑treated ECs.
