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

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by progressive bilateral stenotic changes in the terminal portion of the internal carotid arteries. Although RNF213 was identified as a susceptibility gene for MMD, the exact pathogenesis remains unknown. Immunohistochemical analysis of autopsy specimens from a patient with MMD revealed marked accumulation of hyaluronan and chondroitin sulfate (CS) in the thickened intima of occlusive lesions of MMD. Hyaluronan synthase 2 was strongly expressed in endothelial progenitor cells in the thickened intima. Furthermore, MMD lesions showed minimal staining for CS and hyaluronan in the endothelium, in contrast to control endothelium showing positive staining for both. Glycosaminoglycans of endothelial cells derived from MMD and control induced pluripotent stem cells demonstrated a decreased amount of CS, especially sulfated CS, in MMD. A computational fluid dynamics model showed highest wall shear stress values in the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery, which is the predisposing region in MMD. Because the peri-endothelial extracellular matrix plays an important role in protection, cell adhesion and migration, an altered peri-endothelial matrix in MMD may contribute to endothelial vulnerability to wall shear stress. Invading endothelial progenitor cells repairing endothelial injury would produce excessive hyaluronan and CS in the intima, and cause vascular stenosis.
