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

Background and Aims: Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction in response to circulating plasma factors is a known causal factor in many systemic diseases. However, no appropriate assay is available to investigate this causality Methods: Image-based morphological profiling was utilized to assess the impact of PDP on cultured ECs. Endothelial cell (EC) monolayers were exposed to 25% stabilized PDP (20 compensated cirrhoses, 20 DCs, and 20 healthy controls (HCs). Single-cell morphological profiles were extracted by automated image-analysis following staining of multiple cellular components and high-content imaging. Patient profiles were created by dimension reduction and cell-to-patient data aggregation, followed by multivariate-analysis to stratify patients and identify discriminating features. Results: Patient-derived plasma (PDP) exposure induced profound changes in EC morphology, displaying clear differences between controls and DC patients. Compensated cirrhosis patients showed overlap with healthy controls and DC patients. Supervised analysis showed Child-Pugh (CP) class could be predicted from EC morphology. Most importantly, CP-C patients displayed distinct EC phenotypes, in which mitochondrial changes were most discriminative. Conclusion: Morphological profiling presents a viable tool to assess the endothelium
