Angiopoietin 1 Attenuates Dysregulated Angiogenesis in the Gastrocnemius of DMD Mice.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a degenerative neuromuscular disease caused by a lack of functional dystrophin. Ang 1 paracrine signalling maintains the endothelial barrier of blood vessels, preventing plasma leakage. Chronic inflammation, a consequence of DMD, causes endothelial barrier dysfunction in skeletal muscle. We aim to elucidate changes in the DMD mouse's gastrocnemius microvascular niche following local administration of Ang 1. Gastrocnemii were collected from eight-week-old mdx/utrn+/- and healthy mice. Additional DMD cohort received an intramuscular injection of Ang 1 to gastrocnemius and contralateral control. Gastrocnemii were collected for analysis after two weeks. Using immunohistochemistry and real-time quantitative reverse transcription, we demonstrated an abundance of endothelial cells in DMD mouse's gastrocnemius, but morphology and gene expression were altered. Myofiber perimeters were shorter in DMD mice. Following Ang 1 treatment, fewer endothelial cells were present, and microvessels were more circular.
