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

Human saphenous veins (SVs) are widely used as grafts in coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery but often fail due to neointima formation. Little is known, however, regarding the cellular, transcriptomic, and proteomic dynamics of neointima formation in human veins. Here, we performed transcriptomics and proteomics analysis in an ex vivo tissue culture model of neointima formation in human SVs procured for CABG surgery. Histological examination demonstrated significant elastin degradation and neointima formation (indicated by increased neointima area and neointima-to-media ratio) in SVs subjected to tissue culture. Analysis of data from 72 patients suggests that the progression of SV remodeling and neointima formation differs according to sex and body mass index, which is negatively associated with neointima formation in males only. RNA sequencing demonstrated upregulation of proinflammatory and proliferation-related genes during neointima formation and identified novel processes, including increased cellular stress and DNA damage responses, reflecting tissue trauma associated with vein harvesting. Proteomic analysis identified upregulated extracellular matrix-related and coagulation/thrombosis proteins and downregulated metabolic proteins. Spatial transcriptomics, used to infer regionally enriched gene expression, suggested dynamic alterations in fibroblast and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) states during neointima formation. Specifically, we identified the emergence of
