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 insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) stimulates expression and secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), the main actor in ocular neovascularization, by RPE cells. Activity of IGF-1 is regulated by interaction between its receptor and Caveolin-1 (Cav-1), the main component of caveolae. The aim of this study was to investigate whether modulation of Cav-1 expression affects synthesis and secretion of VEGF-A. ARPE-19 cells were transfected with small interfering RNA for Cav-1 (si-Cav-1) and with control siRNA (si-CTR) and stimulated with IGF-1. We found that down-regulation of Cav-1 did not affect activation of IGF-1R but regulated in an opposite manner the phosphorylation of Akt and Erk1/2. Moreover, we found that IGF-1 increased mRNA levels of VEGF-A in both si-CTR and in si-Cav-1 ARPE-19 cells and that Cav-1 silencing significantly reduced basal and IGF-1-stimulated VEGF-A release. Then we investigated the response of the microvascular endothelial cell line HMEC-1 to secretory products of ARPE-19 cells by evaluating wound healing closure, finding that conditioned media from si-Cav-1-ARPE-19 cells reduced endothelial cell migration rate. These data demonstrate that Cav-1 regulates secretion of VEGF-A, and that the depletion of Cav-1 reduces IGF-1 induced VEGF-A secretion in ARPE-19 cells and the migratory potential of their secretory products.
