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

backgroundAortic dissection (AD) is the separation of medial layers of the aorta and is a major cause of death in patients with connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome. However, molecular triggers instigating AD, its temporospatial progression, and how vascular cells in each vessel layer interact and participate in the pathological process remain incompletely understood. To unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms of AD, we generated a spontaneous AD mouse model.

methodsWe incorporated a novel missense variant (p.G234D) in

resultsFifty percent of the

conclusionsWe show that interactions involving endothelial cells and macrophages/monocytes in the intima, where the extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment contains reduced TGFβ signaling, contribute to the initiation of AD. Our novel AD mouse model provides a unique opportunity to identify target molecules involved in the intimomedial tears that can be utilized for the development of therapeutic strategies.
