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 (Pro)renin receptor ([P]RR), also known as ATP6AP2, is a single-transmembrane protein that is implicated in a multitude of biological processes. However, the exact role of ATP6AP2 during blood vessel development remains largely undefined. Here, we use an inducible endothelial cell-specific (EC-specific) Atp6ap2-KO mouse model to investigate the role of ATP6AP2 during both physiological and pathological angiogenesis in vivo. We observed that postnatal deletion of Atp6ap2 in ECs results in cell migration defects, loss of tip cell polarity, and subsequent impairment of retinal angiogenesis. In vitro, Atp6ap2-deficient ECs similarly displayed reduced cell migration, impaired sprouting, and defective cell polarity. Transcriptional profiling of ECs isolated from Atp6ap2 mutant mice further indicated regulatory roles in angiogenesis, cell migration, and extracellular matrix composition. Mechanistically, we provided evidence that expression of various extracellular matrix components is controlled by ATP6AP2 via the ERK pathway. Furthermore, Atp6ap2-deficient retinas exhibited reduced revascularization in an oxygen-induced retinopathy model. Collectively, our results demonstrate a critical role of ATP6AP2 as a regulator of developmental and pathological angiogenesis.
