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

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is known for being anti-contractile in healthy tissues. We discovered a new function of PVAT, the ability to stress relax and maintain a tone in response to a stretch. This is of note because stress relaxation has been attributed to smooth muscle, of which PVAT has none that is organized in a functional layer. We test the hypothesis the interactions of integrins with collagen play a role in stress relaxation. Our model is the thoracic aorta of the male Dahl SS rat. The PVAT and aorta were physically separated for most assays. Results from single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNAseq) experiments, histochemistry and isometric contractility were also used. Masson Trichrome staining made evident the expression of collagen in PVAT. From snRNA seq experiments of the PVAT, mRNA for multiple collagen and integrin isoforms were detected: the α
