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

Platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGFB) released from endothelial cells is indispensable for pericyte recruitment during angiogenesis in embryonic and postnatal organ growth. Constitutive genetic loss-of-function of PDGFB leads to pericyte hypoplasia and the formation of a sparse, dilated and venous-shifted brain microvasculature with dysfunctional blood-brain barrier (BBB) in mice, as well as the formation of microvascular calcification in both mice and humans. Endothelial PDGFB is also expressed in the adult quiescent microvasculature, but here its importance is unknown. We show that deletion of
