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 loss of a single copy of <i>TBX1</i> accounts for most of the clinical signs and symptoms of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, a common genetic disorder that is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies and brain-related clinical problems, some of which likely have vascular origins. <i>Tbx1</i> mutant mice have brain vascular anomalies, thus making them a useful model to gain insights into the human disease. Here, we found that the main morphogenetic function of TBX1 in the mouse brain is to suppress vessel branching morphogenesis through regulation of <i>Vegfr3</i> We demonstrate that inactivating <i>Vegfr3</i> in the <i>Tbx1</i> expression domain on a <i>Tbx1</i> mutant background enhances brain vessel branching and filopodia formation, whereas increasing <i>Vegfr3</i> expression in this domain fully rescued these phenotypes. Similar results were obtained using an in vitro model of endothelial tubulogenesis. Overall, the results of this study provide genetic evidence that <i>VEGFR3</i> is a regulator of early vessel branching and filopodia formation in the mouse brain and is a likely mediator of the brain vascular phenotype caused by <i>Tbx1</i> loss of function.
