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

Major pathologic changes in the proximal aorta underlie the life-threatening aortic aneurysms and dissections in Marfan Syndrome; current treatments delay aneurysm development without addressing the primary pathology. Because excess oxidative stress and nitric oxide/protein kinase G signaling likely contribute to the aortopathy, we hypothesized that cobinamide, a strong antioxidant that can attenuate nitric oxide signaling, could be uniquely suited to prevent aortic disease. In a well-characterized mouse model of Marfan Syndrome, cobinamide dramatically reduced elastin breaks, prevented excess collagen deposition and smooth muscle cell apoptosis, and blocked DNA, lipid, and protein oxidation and excess nitric oxide/protein kinase G signaling in the ascending aorta. Consistent with preventing pathologic changes, cobinamide diminished aortic root dilation without affecting blood pressure. Cobinamide exhibited excellent safety and pharmacokinetic profiles indicating it could be a practical treatment. We conclude that cobinamide deserves further study as a disease-modifying treatment of Marfan Syndrome.
