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

Endothelial cells throughout the body sense blood flow, eliciting transcriptional and phenotypic responses. The brain endothelium, known as the blood-brain barrier (BBB), possesses unique barrier and transport properties, which are in part regulated by blood flow. We utilized RNA sequencing to analyze the transcriptome of primary cultured rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs), as well as three human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived models. We compared the transcriptional responses of these cells to either low (0.5 dyne/cm
