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

This study evaluated the function of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) under physiological and disease conditions. Vascular density and avascular area were evaluated in Griffonia simplicifolia isolectin B4-stained retinas. Endothelial progenitor cells were quantified using flow cytometry. Vascular leakage was evaluated by Evans Blue. The mitochondrial function and morphology were evaluated by a Seahorse analyzer and immunofluorescence staining. Cell senescence was assessed by a senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity assay and Western blot analysis. A significant reduction in the retinal vessel length and vascular mesh density was found in EC-specific PPARα conditional knockout (PPARα
