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

backgroundApolipoprotein C3 (apo C3) is primarily secreted by the liver and is involved in promoting sterile inflammation and organ damage under pathological conditions. Previous studies have shown that apo C3 is abundant in the plasma exosomes of patients with aortic dissection (AD), but its specific role in AD remains unclear. METHODS AND

resultsIn vivo, adeno-associated virus was used to knock down hepatic apo C3 expression in an AD mouse model to assess the impact of liver-derived apo C3 on the development of AD. In vitro, recombinant apo C3 protein was added to the culture medium of J774A.1 macrophages to evaluate its effect on macrophage polarization and to identify the underlying mechanisms. Additionally, the effect of apo C3 on the function of aortic endothelial and smooth muscle cells was explored. Apo C3 in the aortas of AD mice was found to originate from abnormal hepatic secretion, which enters the bloodstream and subsequently deposits in the aorta. Adeno-associated virus-mediated hepatic apo C3 knockdown significantly reduced AD incidence (

conclusionsOur findings highlight the role of abnormally secreted hepatic apo C3 in promoting aortic inflammation.
