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

Vestigial-like 4 (VGLL4) has been found to have multiple functions in tumor development; however, its role in cardiovascular disease is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of VGLL4 on the dysfunction and inflammatory response of Ox-LDL-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and its mechanism, so as to provide a new theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis. In the present study, the protective activity of VGLL4 inhibiting Ox-LDL-induced apoptosis, oxidative stress, inflammation, and injury as well as its molecular mechanisms was examined using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The results showed that the expression of VGLL4 was decreased with the increase of Ox-LDL concentration in HUVECs. In addition, the functional study found that VGLL4 overexpression alleviated Ox-LDL-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and dysfunction and inhibited apoptosis. Further research found that VGLL4 regulated Hippo-YAP/TEAD1 signaling pathway, and the Hippo-YAP/TEAD1 signaling pathway was involved in the protective mechanism of VGLL4 on HUVECs. In conclusion, it suggests that VGLL4 protects against oxidized-LDL-induced endothelial cell dysfunction by activating the Hippo-YAP/TEAD1 signaling pathway.
