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

Appropriate vascular and neural development is essential for central nervous system (CNS). Although programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1) mediates neurogenesis, its role in cerebrovascular development remains poorly understood. Here, a correlation between cerebral vessels and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) is revealed during brain development. The ablation of endothelial PD-1 triggers cortical hypervascularization through excessive angiogenic sprouting, concomitantly driving OPC differentiation. These alterations disrupt blood brain barrier (BBB) maturation, induce dysmyelination, and ultimately result in abnormal behavior in mice. Mechanistically, the loss of endothelial PD-1 suppresses the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby disrupting normal angiogenesis. Concurrently, it activates the MEK1/2-ERK1/2-GLI1 pathway, leading to increased GREMLIN1 (GREM1) expression. Elevated GREM1 secretion inhibits the BMP/SMAD1/5/SMAD4 signaling cascade in OPCs, which inhibits oligodendrogenesis and myelination. These findings indicate the importance of endothelial cell-intrinsic PD-1 in regulating the oligovascular niche, and suggest potential therapeutic implications for neurological disorders associated with disrupted vascular development.
