High-Phosphate-Stimulated Macrophage-Derived Exosomes Promote Vascular Calcification via let-7b-5p/TGFBR1 Axis in Chronic Kidney Disease.
Article in Cells, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Although macrophage infiltration has been proven to increase calcified artery media in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, the mechanism by which macrophages are involved in vascular calcification (VC) progression remains unclear. Taking advantage of miRNA-seq, RNA-seq, dual-luciferase reporter assay, qRT-PCR, and arteries from CKD patients as well as CKD mouse models, we identified that high-phosphate-stimulated macrophage-derived exosomes (Mexo-P) suppressed let-7b-5p expression in VSMCs, which further upregulated TGFBR1. Moreover, gain-and-loss-of-function assays were used to determine the regulatory effects and downstream mechanism of let-7b-5p and TGFBR1 on VC. Mechanically, Mexo-P induced VSMC TGFBR1 upregulation by suppressing let-7b-5p, which further amplifies SMAD3/RUNX2 signaling and thereby contributes to VC. Our findings indicate that macrophage-derived exosomes promote CKD-associated VC through the let-7b-5p/TGFBR1 axis in high-phosphate conditions. Our study provides insight into macrophages associated with VC, which might be potential therapeutical targets for VC.
