Contribution of the innate and adaptive immune systems to aortic dilation in murine mucopolysaccharidosis type I.
Article in Molecular genetics and metabolism, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundAdult immunocompetent male C57Bl/6 mucopolysaccharidosis, type I (MPSI) mice develop aortic insufficiency (AI), dilated ascending aortas and decreased cardiac function, findings not observed in immune incompetent adult male NSG MPSI mice. We sought to determine why.
methodsCardiac ultrasound measurements of ascending aorta and left ventricular dimensions and Doppler interrogation for AI were performed in 6-month-old male B6 MPSI (N = 12), WT (N = 6), NSG MPSI (N = 8), NSG (N = 6) mice. Urinary glycosaminoglycans, RNA sequencing with quantitative PCR were performed and aortic pathology assessed by routine and immunohistochemical staining on subsets of murine aortas.
resultsAscending aortic diameters were significantly greater, left ventricular function significantly decreased, and AI significantly more frequent in B6 MPSI mice compared to NSG MPSI mice (p < 0.0001, p = 0.008 and p = 0.02, respectively); NSG and B6 WT mice showed no changes. Urinary glycosaminoglycans were significantly greater in B6 and NSG MPSI mice and both were significantly elevated compared to WT controls (p = 0.003 and p < 0.0001, respectively). By RNA sequencing, all 11 components of the inflammasome pathway were upregulated in B6 MUT, but only Aim2 and Ctsb in NSG MUT mice and none in WT controls. Both B6 and NSG MUT mice demonstrated variably-severe intramural inflammation, vacuolated cells, elastin fragmentation and disarray, and intense glycosaminoglycans on histological staining. B6 MPSI mice demonstrated numerous medial MAC2+ macrophages and adventitial CD3+ T-cells while MAC2+ macrophages were sparse and CD3+ T-cells absent in NSG MPSI mice.
conclusionsAortic dilation, AI and decreased cardiac function occur in immunocompetent B6 MPSI male mice but not in immune incompetent NSG MPSI mice, unrelated to GAG excretion, upregulation of Ctsb, or routine histologic appearance. Upregulation of all components of the inflammasome pathway in B6 MUT, but not NSG MUT mice, and abundant medial MAC2 and adventitial CD3 infiltrates in B6, but not NSG, MPSI aortas differentiated the two strains. These results suggest that the innate and adaptive immune systems play a role in these cardiac findings which may be relevant to human MPSI.
