Fluid shear stress-dependent modulation of the basal endothelial glycocalyx.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
The vascular endothelial glycocalyx is a major regulator of endothelium function, serving as a vital mechanotransducer and barrier. Shear stress due to blood flow exerted on the apical endothelial cell (EC) and glycocalyx have been the primary focus of the field due to their direct interaction. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the basal glycocalyx, exposed to the basement membrane, is sensitive to apical fluid shear stress and necessary for promoting mechanotransduction pathways key in the EC response to blood flow. Here, we demonstrate the fluid shear stress-dependent modulation of the basal endothelial glycocalyx, showing a notably different expression pattern and overall increased expression compared to the apical glycocalyx. Our findings, coupled with prior evidence linking the basal GCX to cytoskeletal dynamics, underscore its potential role in vascular barrier integrity and mechanotransduction.
