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

Accrual of ceramides, membrane and bioactive sphingolipids, has been implicated in endothelial dysfunction preceding cardiometabolic diseases. Yet, direct in vivo evidence, underlying mechanisms, and pathological implications are lacking. Here we show that suppression of ceramides and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a product of ceramide degradation, are causally linked to endothelial dysfunction and activation, contributing to vascular and metabolic disorders in high fat diet fed (HFD) male mice. Mechanistically, the upregulation of Nogo-B and ORMDL proteins suppress ceramide de novo biosynthesis in endothelial cells (EC) of HFD mice, resulting in vascular and metabolic dysfunctions. Systemic and endothelial specific deletion of Nogo-B restore sphingolipid signaling and functions, lowers hypertension, and hepatic glucose production in HFD. Our results demonstrate in vivo that ceramide and S1P suppression rather than accrual contributes to endothelial dysfunction and cardiometabolic diseases in HFD mice. Our study also sets a framework for the development of therapeutic strategies to treat these conditions.
