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

Endothelial glycocalyx is a negatively charged gel-like layer located on the apical surface of endothelial cells. It serves as a selective two-way physical barrier between the flowing blood and the endothelium, which regulates the access of macromolecules and of blood cells to the endothelial surface. In addition, endothelial glycocalyx plays a major role in sensing mechanical signals generated by the blood flow and transducing these signals to maintain endothelial functions; Thus, dysfunction or disruption of endothelial glycocalyx in pathological condition leads to endothelial dysfunction and contributes to the development of vascular diseases. In this review, we discuss the impact of atherosclerosis with the following viewpoints: (i) hypercholesterolemic effects on endothelial glycocalyx degradation in animal models and human patients, (ii) disruption of endothelial glycocalyx by atherogenic lipoproteins, (iii) proatherogenic disturbed flow effects on endothelial glycocalyx degradation, (iv) pathological consequences of the loss of glycocalyx integrity in atherogenesis, and (v) therapeutic effect of glycocalyx supplementation on atherosclerosis development. Additionally, we also discuss recent studies in pathological effects of obesity on the disruption of endothelial glycocalyx.
