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

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), a degenerative disease characterized by inflammation, fibrosis and calcification, is accelerated in diabetes. Hyperglycemia contributes to this process by mechanisms that still need to be uncovered. We have recently developed a 3D model of the human aortic valve based on gelatin methacrylate and revealed that high glucose (HG) induced osteogenic molecules and increased calcium deposits in a pro-osteogenic environment. To further understand the events leading to calcification in diabetic conditions in CAVD, we analyzed here the inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms induced by HG in our 3D model. We exposed valvular endothelial cells (VEC) and interstitial cells (VIC) to normal glucose (NG) or HG for 7 and 14 days, then we isolated and separated the cells by anti-CD31 immunomagnetic beads. The changes induced by HG in the 3D model were investigated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunofluorescence. Our results showed that HG induced expression of different cytokines, cell adhesion molecules and matrix metalloproteinases in VEC and VIC. In addition, protein kinase C was increased in VEC and VIC, indicating molecular mechanisms associated with HG induced inflammation and remodeling in both valvular cells. These findings may indicate new biomarkers and targets for therapy in diabetes associated with CAVD.
