Murine Model of Venous Bypass Grafting to Study Determinants of Graft Patency.
Article in Current protocols, 2026. 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
The investigation of patency and remodeling in venous grafts requires a reproducible animal model that enables the study of the underlying cellular and molecular processes. Here, we describe a simplified mouse model for venous bypass grafts, in which the inferior thoracic vena cava (IVC) of a donor mouse is interposed into the common carotid artery of a recipient mouse using a cuff technique. The procedure is divided into four basic protocols, which includes the harvesting of the inferior vena cava from donor mice (Basic Protocol 1), the preparation of the common carotid artery (Basic Protocol 2), the interposition of the inferior vena cava graft (Basic Protocol 3), and post-operative care (Basic Protocol 4). Detailed step-by-step instructions and an instructional video are provided to facilitate microsurgical training and to improve the reproducibility and accessibility of the procedure. This model enables the investigation of the patency and remodeling of venous grafts and provides a platform for researching the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to venous graft failure, as well as for evaluating potential therapeutic interventions. © 2026 The Author(s).
