Serum Vascular Adhesion Protein-1 and Endothelial Dysfunction in Hepatic Cirrhosis: Searching for New Prognostic Markers.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Endothelial dysfunction plays a key role in the development of liver cirrhosis. Among the biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction, the soluble form of Vascular Adhesion Protein-1 (sVAP-1) is an unconventional and less known adhesion molecule endowed also with amine oxidase activity. The aim of this study was to explore and correlate the behavior of sVAP-1 with that of the soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and with the severity of liver cirrhosis. A cross-sectional study was carried out by enrolling 28 controls, 59 cirrhotic patients without hepatocellular carcinoma, and 56 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), mainly caused by alcohol abuse. The levels of adhesion molecules and of the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-αα) were determined by immunoassay and the enzymatic activity of sVAP-1 by a fluorometric assay. In non-diabetic patients without HCC, a specific behavior of sVAP-1 was highlighted. Differently from sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, and cytokines, the sVAP-1 level was significantly increased only in the early stage of disease, and then, it decreased in the last stage (866 ± 390 ng/mL vs. 545 ± 316 ng/mL, in Child-Pugh class A vs. C, respectively,
