In situ decellularization of a large animal saccular aneurysm model: sustained inflammation and active aneurysm wall remodeling.

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
objectiveTo investigate in situ decellularization of a large animal model of saccular aneurysm as a strategy for achieving aneurysmal growth and lasting inflammation.
methods18 New Zealand White rabbits were randomized 2:1 to receive endoluminal sodium dodecyl sulfate infusion (SDS, 1% solution, 45 min) following elastase or elastase-only treatment (control). All aneurysms were measured by digital subtraction angiography every 2 weeks. Every 2 weeks, three of the rabbits (two elastase + SDS, one control) underwent MRI, followed by contrast injection with myeloperoxidase (MPO)-sensing contrast agent. MRI was repeated 3 hours after contrast injection and the enhancement ratio (ER) was calculated. Following MRI, aneurysms were explanted and subjected to immunohistopathology.
resultsDuring follow-up MRI, the average ER for SDS-treated animals was 1.63±0.20, compared with 1.01±0.06 for controls (p<0.001). The width of SDS-treated aneurysms increased significantly in comparison with the elastase aneurysms (47% vs 20%, p<0.001). Image analysis of thin sections showed infiltration of MPO-positive cells in decellularized aneurysms and surroundings through the 12-week observation period while control tissue had 5-6 times fewer cells present 2 weeks after aneurysm creation. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated the presence of MPO-positive cells surrounding decellularized lesions at early time points. MPO-positive cells were found in the adventitia and in the thrombi adherent to the aneurysm wall at later time points.
conclusionsIn situ decellularization of a large animal model of saccular aneurysms reproduces features of unstable aneurysms, such as chronic inflammation (up to 12 weeks) and active aneurysm wall remodeling, leading to continued growth over 8 weeks.
