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

Inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB kinase subunit ε (IKKε) is an important signal regulator in the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying IKKε function in AAA formation by studying apoptosis and autophagy in angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). AngII was used to stimulate VSMCs for 24 h to simulate the process of AAA formation. VSMCs were transfected with IKKε small interfering RNA to investigate the effect of IKKε on AAA formation, cell apoptosis and autophagy. IKKε deficiency led to reduced mitochondrial damage and apoptosis in VSMCs in the early stage of apoptosis
