Collagen VIII in vascular diseases.
Review in Matrix biology : journal of the International Society for Matrix Biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Collagens have dual functions in the extracellular matrix (ECM), acting as both structural components and signaling molecules in matricellular communication. Although collagen molecules share a common triple helix motif, the supramolecular organization helps classify them into nearly 30 different types of collagens. Collagen type VIII is a non-fibrillar, short-chain, network-forming collagen that is expressed throughout the vasculature. Collagen VIII expression is aberrant in cardiovascular, lung, and renal disease, as well as in several different types of cancer. It plays active roles in angiogenesis, vessel injury repair, maintenance of arterial compliance, atherosclerotic plaque formation and stability modulation, fibrosis, and ECM remodeling. This review presents an overview of the characteristics of collagen VIII in vascular-related disorders, from clinical significance to laboratory studies, with a major focus on highlighting the signaling properties of collagen VIII in the vascular ECM. The expression patterns of collagen VIII in human diseases and experimental animal models highlight the protein's important yet underexplored functions. A deeper understanding of its mechanisms and downstream signaling pathways may pave the way for translational and tissue engineering applications of collagen VIII.
