Elastin Regulates Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Behavior During Development and in Diseases.
Review in Pediatrics international : official journal of the Japan Pediatric Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Elastic fibers are crucial components of the vessel wall. They modulate the elasticity of arteries to enable a stable blood supply to peripheral organs. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are another major component of these vascular walls. Elastic fibers and VSMCs are arranged alternately to form a highly organized arterial media layer. VSMCs secrete several extracellular matrix components, such as tropoelastin, a precursor of elastic fibers. Elastic fibers, in turn, transmit several signals to determine the VSMC phenotype. Elastic fiber dysfunction, whether due to congenital anomalies or various arterial diseases, causes excessive accumulation of VSMCs and exacerbates disease progression, whereas physiological elastin deficiency and VSMC accumulation are essential for proper postnatal closure of the ductus arteriosus. In this review, we discuss elastic fiber formation and deficiency in the aorta and ductus arteriosus, and introduce recent insights into elastin deficiency-induced VSMC accumulation in these arteries.
