Early IKKβ-Dependent Anabolic Signature Governs Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Fate and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Development.

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
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a serious disease with no effective pharmacological therapy. Although inflammation is recognized as a key regulator of AAA, targeting inflammatory pathways once the disease is established does not improve outcomes. Understanding the earliest molecular indicators could clarify precise biological targets and prognostic markers for AAA. Using ApoE-deficient mice, we performed RNA-Seq on suprarenal abdominal aortas (SRAs) from Ang II- and saline-treated mice 24 h after infusion. We further developed a unique model of hyperlipidemic mice in which the expression of the inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase subunit beta (IKKβ) can be conditionally suppressed in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). RNA-Seq data revealed early IKKβ-dependent cellular anabolic processes in SRAs, including activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway. Furthermore, deletion of the
