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

introductionSmooth muscle cells (SMCs) are considered to be the main producer of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) participating primarily in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Any disturbances in ECM structure may underlie the pathogenesis of many cardiovascular diseases and contribute to angiogenesis, cancer development, invasion or metastasis. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of oxidative stress on the expression of MMP-2, its tissue inhibitor type 1 (TIMP-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs). MATERIAL AND

methodsHASMCs were treated with exogenously applied H

resultsThe studies revealed no association between oxidative stress and either mRNA quantity or protein secretion of MMP-2 and TIMP-1. However, we found markedly reduced (

conclusionsWe did not find any effect of oxidative stress on expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-1 in HASMCs. However, COX-2 mRNA and protein level were elevated in these conditions. There was no correlation between COX-2 activity and MMP-2 and TIMP-1 mRNA expression or protein secretion.
