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

objectiveTo understand arterial remodeling and the pathophysiology of arterial diseases, it is necessary to understand the baseline qualities and variations in arterial structure. Arteries could differ in wall thickness, laminar structure, and laminar fenestration depending on their position within the arterial tree. We endeavored to evaluate and compare the extracellular matrix structure of different arteries throughout the arterial tree, from the aorta to the adductor muscle arteriole, with a particular focus on the internal elastic lamina (IEL).

methodsArterial segments were harvested from male Sprague-Dawley rats and imaged using multiple modalities. En face scans by multiphoton microscopy were used to compare native-state adventitial collagen undulation and IEL fenestration.

resultsCollagen undulation was similar across most examined arteries but straighter in the skeletal muscle arterioles (

conclusionsWe found that vessels at different locations along the arterial tree differ in structure. The SMA, PFA, and intramuscular arterioles have fundamental differences in the extracellular matrix structure compared with other arteries. Location-specific features such as the medial lamellae number and elastic laminar structure might have relevance to physiology and confer vulnerabilities to the development of pathology.
