Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 Inhibitor Improves the Vascular Function of Arteriovenous Fistula in Rats with Hyperglycemia.
Article in Acta Cardiologica Sinica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objectives: Few evidence-based medications to improve the primary patency of arteriovenous fistulas in patients with diabetes who require hemodialysis are available. We investigated whether proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) could improve arteriovenous fistula function through pleiotropic effects in a rat model of hyperglycemia. Methods: Results: PCSK9i induced aorta relaxation Conclusions: Short-term treatment with PCSK9i preserved endothelial function, induced vascular dilatation, and increased blood flow in the AC fistula of rats with hyperglycemia. The pleiotropic mechanisms were associated with the suppression of oxidative stress and tissue inflammation during hyperglycemia.
