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

backgroundCerebral vascular malformations (CCMs) are primarily found within the brain, where they result in increased risk for stroke, seizures, and focal neurological deficits. The unique feature of the brain vasculature is the blood-brain barrier formed by the brain neurovascular unit. Recent studies suggest that loss of CCM genes causes disruptions of blood-brain barrier integrity as the inciting events for CCM development. CCM lesions are proposed to be initially derived from a single clonal expansion of a subset of angiogenic venous capillary endothelial cells (ECs) and respective resident endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, the critical signaling events in the subclass of brain ECs/EPCs for CCM lesion initiation and progression are unclear.

resultsSingle-cell RNA-sequencing analyses from P10

conclusionsCCM3 is critical for maintaining blood-brain barrier integrity and CCM3 loss-induced mTORC1 signaling in brain EPCs initiates and facilitates CCM pathogenesis.
