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

backgroundLoeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS), caused by mutations in the TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β) signaling cascade, leads to aggressive thoracic aneurysms. While vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype modulation has been implicated in thoracic aneurysm formation, we sought to characterize the role of cell state transitions in LDS aneurysm pathogenesis.

methodsWe performed single-cell transcriptomic characterization of aortic root/ascending aorta from a murine LDS model (

resultsInstead of SMC phenotypic modulation seen in Marfan syndrome, transcriptomic alterations observed in LDS are most prominent in the adventitial fibroblast in the

conclusionsDespite phenotypic similarities in aneurysm formation, the dominant cellular and molecular mechanism of Marfan syndrome and LDS aneurysms are distinct. LDS mouse and human adventitial fibroblasts transcriptomically modulate into a proinflammatory state. Adventitial fibroblasts, in addition to SMCs, are another important pathological cell population during LDS aneurysm formation to consider for targeted therapy to potentially impede LDS aneurysm formation.
