The effects of young and aged, male and female megakaryocyte conditioned media on angiogenic properties of endothelial cells.
Article in Aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
With aging, the risk of fractures and compromised healing increases. Angiogenesis plays a significant role in bone healing and is impaired with aging. We have previously shown the impact of megakaryocytes (MKs) in regulating bone healing. Notably, MKs produce factors known to promote angiogenesis. We examined the effects of conditioned media (CM) generated from MKs derived from young (3-4-month-old) and aged (22-24-month-old), male and female C57BL/6J mice on bone marrow endothelial cell (BMEC) growth and function. Female MK CM, regardless of age, caused a >65% increase in BMEC proliferation and improved vessel formation by >115%. Likewise, young male MK CM increased vessel formation by 160%. Although aged male MK CM resulted in >150% increases in the formation of vascular nodes and meshes, 62% fewer vessels formed compared to young male MK CM treatment. Aged female MK CM improved migration by over 2500%. However, aged female and male MK CM caused less wound closure. MK CM treatments also significantly altered the expression of several genes including PDGFRβ, CXCR4, and CD36 relative to controls and between ages. Further testing of mechanisms responsible for age-associated differences may allow for novel strategies to improve MK-mediated angiogenesis and bone healing, particularly within the aging population.
