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

objectiveTo elucidate the mechanism whereby advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accelerate atherosclerosis (AS) and to explore novel therapeutic strategies for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. METHODS AND

resultsThe effect of AGEs on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) transcytosis across endothelial cells (ECs) was assessed using an in vitro model of LDL transcytosis. We observed that AGEs activated the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) on the surface of ECs and consequently upregulated Caveolin-1, which in turn increased caveolae-mediated LDL transcytosis and accelerated AS progression. Our molecular assessment revealed that AGEs activate the RAGE-NF-κB signaling, which then recruits the NF-κB subunit p65 to the RAGE promoter and consequently enhances RAGE transcription, thereby forming a positive feedback loop between the NF-κB signaling and RAGE expression. Increased NF-κB signaling ultimately upregulated Caveolin-1, promoting LDL transcytosis, and inhibition of RAGE suppressed AGE-induced LDL transcytosis. In ApoE

conclusionAGEs accelerate the development of diabetes-related AS by increasing the LDL transcytosis in ECs through the activation of the RAGE/NF-κB/Caveolin-1 axis, which may be targeted to prevent or treat diabetic macrovascular complications.
