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

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is caused by abnormal vascular development. Guanylate cyclase soluble subunit alpha-1 (GUCY1A3) gene variation is verified as a crucial susceptible gene in MMD. In this study, we investigated the impact of GUCY1A3 on angiogenesis. GUCY1A3-knockout (KO) models were established using CRISPR/Cas9 technology in zebrafishes and mice. Blood vessel distribution in GUCY1A3-KO zebrafishes and retinal angiogenesis in postnatal GUCY1A3-KO mice were analyzed. Anti-angiogenic behaviors, including cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis, and changes in hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) distribution were examined in GUCY1A3-knockdown (KD) mice brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs). GUCY1A3-KO significantly decreased intracranial central artery development in zebrafishes, delayed retinal vascularization in mice, reduced retinal vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) expression in mice, and abolished expression of the GUCY1A3-encoded protein, α1 subunit of soluble guanylate cyclase. GUCY1A3-KD significantly decreased cell proliferation (flow cytometry analysis) and migration (wound-healing and Transwell assays), but increased apoptosis (hypoxia-induced apoptosis assay) in the BMECs. Immunofluorescence of HIF-1α revealed that nuclear translocation and protein expression were significantly reduced in the GUCY1A3-KD BMECs. These findings indicated that decreased expression of GUCY1A3 resulted in anti-angiogenic activity through inhibiting VEGFA and HIF-1α expression and nuclear translocation, inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and migration, and promoting endothelial cell apoptosis.
