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

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are two distinct vascular angiopathies that share several similarities in clinical presentation and vascular pathology. Given the clinical and pathologic overlap, the molecular overlap between CADASIL and CAA was explored. CADASIL and CAA protein profiles from recently published proteomics-based and immuno-based studies were compared to investigate the potential for shared disease mechanisms. A comparison of affected proteins in each disease highlighted 19 proteins that are regulated in both CADASIL and CAA. Functional analysis of the shared proteins predicts significant interaction between them and suggests that most enriched proteins play roles in extracellular matrix structure and remodeling. Proposed models to explain the observed enrichment of extracellular matrix proteins include both increased protein secretion and decreased protein turnover by sequestration of chaperones and proteases or formation of stable protein complexes. Single-cell RNA sequencing of vascular cells in mice suggested that the vast majority of the genes accounting for the overlapped proteins between CADASIL and CAA are expressed by fibroblasts. Thus, our current understanding of the molecular profiles of CADASIL and CAA appears to support potential for common mechanisms underlying the two disorders.
