Glycolaldehyde induces synergistic effects on vascular inflammation in TNF-α-stimulated vascular smooth muscle cells.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that contributes to disease progression is associated with the expression of adhesion molecules in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Glycolaldehyde (GA) has been shown to impair cellular function in various disorders, including diabetes, and renal diseases. This study investigated the effect of GA on the expression of adhesion molecules in the mouse VSMC line, MOVAS-1. Co-incubation of VSMCs with GA (25-50 μM) dose-dependently increased the protein and mRNA level of Vcam-1 and ICAM-1. Additionally, GA upregulated intracellular ROS production and phosphorylation of MAPK and NK-κB. GA also elevated TNF-α-induced PI3K-AKT activation. Furthermore, GA enhanced TNF-α-activated IκBα kinase activation, subsequent IκBα degradation, and nuclear translocation of NF-κB. These findings suggest that GA stumulated VSMC adhesive capacity and the induction of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in VSMCs through inhibition of MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, providing insights into the effect of GA to induce inflammation within atherosclerotic lesions.
