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

The extracellular matrix is an essential component and constitutes a dynamic microenvironment of the vessel wall with an indispensable role in vascular homeostasis and disease. From early development through to ageing, the vascular extracellular matrix undergoes various biochemical and biomechanical alterations in response to diverse environmental cues and exerts precise regulatory control over vessel remodelling. Advances in novel technologies that enable the comprehensive evaluation of extracellular matrix components and cell-matrix interactions have led to the emergence of therapeutic strategies that specifically target this fine-tuned network. In this Review, we explore various aspects of extracellular matrix biology in vascular development, disorders and ageing, emphasizing the effect of the extracellular matrix on disease initiation and progression. Additionally, we provide an overview of the potential therapeutic implications of targeting the extracellular matrix microenvironment in vascular diseases.
