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

Endothelial dysfunction is the main initiating factor in atherosclerosis. Through mechanotransduction, shear stress regulates endothelial cell function in both homeostatic and diseased states. Accumulating evidence reveals that epigenetic changes play critical roles in the etiology of cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis. The metabolic regulation of epigenetics has emerged as an important factor in the control of gene expression in diseased states, but to the best of our knowledge, this connection remains largely unexplored in endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. In this review, we (1) summarize how shear stress (or flow) regulates endothelial (dys)function; (2) explore the epigenetic alterations that occur in the endothelium in response to disturbed flow; (3) review endothelial cell metabolism under different shear stress conditions; and (4) suggest mechanisms which may link this altered metabolism to the regulation of the endothelial epigenome by modulations in metabolite availability. We believe that metabolic regulation plays an important role in endothelial epigenetic reprogramming and could pave the way for novel metabolism-based therapeutic strategies.
