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

backgroundComprehensive investigation of endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction during atherosclerosis with single-cell omics has resulted in the proposal that ECs undergo multiple alternative cell fate decisions during disease, but lack of lineage tracing or spatial localization complicates interpretation of these data.

methodsWe performed EC lineage tracing, in situ analysis, and scRNA-Seq (single-cell RNA-sequencing) in

resultsWe found that EC phenotypic modulation during atherosclerosis is characterized by both proinflammatory and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition gene programs, occurring simultaneously along a single-cell fate transition. Human scRNA-Seq data validated a similar endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition during disease. We found that the commonly used

conclusionsOur study revealed important aspects of EC phenotypic modulation during atherosclerosis, unifying disparate observations in the field. We identified key cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying a top risk locus for multiple vascular diseases, highlighting the promotion of inflammatory endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition by
