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

Type V collagen is a regulatory fibrillar collagen essential for type I collagen fibril nucleation and organization and its deficiency leads to structurally abnormal extracellular matrix (ECM). Haploinsufficiency of the Col5a1 gene encoding α(1) chain of type V collagen is the primary cause of classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). The mechanisms by which this initial insult leads to the spectrum of clinical presentation are not fully understood. Using transcriptome analysis of skin and Achilles tendons from Col5a1 haploinsufficient (Col5a1+/-) mice, we recognized molecular alterations associated with the tissue phenotypes. We identified dysregulation of ECM components including thrombospondin-1, lysyl oxidase, and lumican in the skin of Col5a1+/- mice when compared with control. We also identified upregulation of transforming growth factor β1 (Tgf-β) in serum and increased expression of pSmad2 in skin from Col5a1+/- mice, suggesting Tgf-β dysregulation is a contributor to abnormal wound healing and atrophic scarring seen in classic EDS. Together, these findings support altered matrix to cell signaling as a component of the pathogenesis of the tissue phenotype in classic EDS and point out potential downstream signaling pathways that may be targeted for the treatment of this disease.
