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

African American (AA) women face disproportionate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk due to adverse social determinants of health (SDoH), including lower socioeconomic status (SES). Physical activity (PA) and plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) modulate CVD risk, but their relationships with SDoH remain unclear. This study examines associations between SDoH, PA, and plasma EVs in a Washington, DC-based cohort of at-risk AA women. Participants (N = 24, Age: 57 ± 12, BMI: 35 ± 6, ASCVD: 9 ± 5) joined the Step It Up Community-Engaged, Digital Health Physical Activity Intervention pilot study. EVs were isolated from fasting plasma samples. Multivariable regression, adjusted for BMI and ASCVD 10-year risk, showed that neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation (NSD) was associated with decreased EV size (β=-0.49, p = 0.01), while higher daily step count was associated with increased EV size (β = 0.48, p = 0.02). EV miRNA cargo, including miR-1246, miR-28-5p, and miR-765, showed distinct expression patterns with EV size, NSD, and PA. In vitro, endothelial cell (EC) barrier integrity directly correlated with miR-28-5p (r = 0.73, p = 0.007) and miR-765 (r=-0.58, p = 0.049). EC migration correlated negatively with miR-28-5p (r=-0.67, p = 0.02). Findings highlight smaller EV size associated with high NSD and low PA, suggesting miR-28-5p may be a biomarker or mediator for CVD pathogenesis. PA interventions may mitigate adverse SDoH effects and establish EV miRNA cargo as biomarkers and/or intervention mediators.
