Mechanical signaling regulates vascular smooth muscle cell adaptation in aging.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aging is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Preventing age-induced arterial dysfunction and the associated risk of cardiovascular disease remains a significant clinical challenge. Aerobic exercise, which induces a temporary increase in both blood flow and pressure in active tissue, has been shown to reduce macroscale arterial stiffening in humans. This study investigates the effects of mechanical stimuli on improving aging pathophysiology of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells isolated from soleus feed arteries (SFA). We hypothesized that age-induced impairment of VSM contractility can be rescued by mechanical stimulation that enhances formation of smooth muscle alpha-actin (SMα-actin) fibers and cell-matrix adhesions in aged VSM cells.
