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

backgroundThe development of coronary vessels in embryonic mouse heart involves various progenitor populations, including sinus venosus (SV), endocardium, and proepicardium. ELA/APJ signaling is known to regulate coronary growth from the SV, whereas VEGF-A/VEGF-R2 signaling controls growth from the endocardium. Previous studies suggest hypoxia might regulate coronary growth, but its specific downstream pathways are unclear. In this study, we further investigated the role of hypoxia and have identified SOX17- and VEGF-R2-mediated signaling as the potential downstream pathways in its regulation of developmental coronary angiogenesis.

resultsHIF-1α stabilization by knocking out von Hippel Lindau (VHL) protein in the myocardium (cKO) disrupted normal coronary angiogenesis in embryonic mouse hearts, resembling patterns of accelerated coronary growth. VEGF-R2 expression was increased in coronary endothelial cells under hypoxia in vitro and in VHL cKO hearts in vivo. Similarly, SOX17 expression was increased in the VHL cKO hearts, while its knockout in the endocardium disrupted normal coronary growth.

conclusionThese findings provide further evidence that hypoxia regulates developmental coronary growth potentially through VEGF-R2 and SOX17 pathways, shedding light on mechanisms of coronary vessel development.
