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

objectiveAtherosclerosis (AS) is one of the most common causes of human death and disability. This study is designed to investigate the roles of aldosterone (Aldo) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) in this disease by clinical data and cell model. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this experimental study, clinical data were collected to investigate the Aldo role for the patients with primary aldosteronism or adrenal tumors. Cell viability assay, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) assay, apoptosis assay, cell aging analysis, and matrigel tube formation assay were performed to detect effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with Aldo and/or Ox-LDL. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Western blot analysis were performed to figure out critical genes in the process of endothelial cells dysfunction induced by Aldo and/or Ox-LDL.

resultsWe found that the Aldo level had a positive correlation with the TG/HDL-C ratio. Endothelial cell growth, angiogenesis, senescence, and apoptosis were significantly affected, and eNOS/Sirt1, the value of Bcl-2/Bax and Angiopoietin1/2 were significantly affected when cells were co-treated by Aldo and Ox-LDL.

conclusionElevated Aldo with high Ox-LDL together may accelerate the dysfunction of HUVEC, and the Ox-LDL, especially for those patients with high Aldo should be well controlled. The assessment of the role of Aldo may provide a theoretical basis for the effective prevention and investigation of a new treatment of AS.
