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

The vascular endothelium plays a key role in the pathobiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Endothelial cell Piezo1 mediates blood vessel formation, angiogenesis and regulation of blood pressure. However, changes of Piezo1 expression in atherosclerosis (AS) and the role of Piezo1 in the progression of atherosclerotic diseases remains obscure. Thus, the current study is to elucidate the role and mechanism of which Piezo1 mediates vascular inflammation in atherosclerotic mice and vascular endothelial inflammation induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in vitro. Here, we have shown that the expression of Piezo1 was significantly increased in the stenotic carotid artery of ApoE-/- mice fed by high-fat diet (HFD). Pharmacological inhibition of Piezo1 (GsMTx-4) attenuated plaque formation, decreased the level of inflammation related factors (JNK, TNF-α, NF-κB, VCAM-1) of carotid plaque in atherosclerotic mice. Meanwhile, ox-LDL also upregulates Piezo1 and inflammation proteins (NF-κB, JNK and TNF-α) in endothelium cells (ECs). YAP/TAZ is activated accompanied by the enhanced Piezo1 activity in ECs induced by ox-LDL. Interference by siRNA of Piezo1 abolished the expression of YAP/TAZ and inflammation proteins (JNK, NF-κB and TNF-α). In addition, Ca
