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

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common complication of preterm birth. Up to 1/3 of children with BPD develop pulmonary hypertension (PH). PH increases mortality, the risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome and lacks effective treatment. Current vasodilator therapies address symptoms, but not the underlying arrested vascular development. Recent insights into placental biology and novel technological advances enabling the study of normal and impaired lung development at the single cell level support the concept of a vascular phenotype of BPD. Dysregulation of growth factor pathways results in depletion and dysfunction of putative distal pulmonary endothelial progenitor cells including Cap1, Cap2, and endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs), a subset of vascular progenitor cells with self-renewal and de novo angiogenic capacity. Preclinical data demonstrate effectiveness of ECFCs and ECFC-derived particles including extracellular vesicles (EVs) in promoting lung vascular growth and reversing PH, but the mechanism is unknown. The lack of engraftment suggests a paracrine mode of action mediated by EVs that contain miRNA. Aberrant miRNA signaling contributes to arrested pulmonary vascular development, hence using EV- and miRNA-based therapies is a promising strategy to prevent the development of BPD-PH. More needs to be learned about disrupted pathways, timing of intervention, and mode of delivery. IMPACT: Single-cell RNA sequencing studies provide new in-depth view of developmental endothelial depletion underlying BPD-PH. Aberrant miRNA expression is a major cause of arrested pulmonary development. EV- and miRNA-based therapies are very promising therapeutic strategies to improve prognosis in BPD-PH.
