Tissue Derivation and Biological Sex Uniquely Mediate Endothelial Cell Protein Expression, Redox Status, and Nitric Oxide Synthesis.
Article in Cells, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Human endothelial cells are routinely utilized in cardiovascular research to provide a translational foundation for understanding how the vascular endothelium functions in vivo. However, little attention has been given to whether there are sex specific responses in vitro. Similarly, it is unclear whether endothelial cells derived from distinct tissues behave in a homogenous manner. Herein, we demonstrate that marked sex differences exist within, and between, commonly utilized human primary endothelial cells from healthy donors, with respect to redox status, nitric oxide synthesis, and associated proteins that can mediate their expression. Further, we demonstrate that endothelial cells respond uniquely to inflammatory insult in a sex- and tissue origin-dependent manner. Our findings suggest sex and tissue derivation may need to be considered when studying endothelial cells in vitro as cells derived from distinct tissue and sexes may not behave interchangeably.
