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

Atherosclerosis is attributable to a series of diabetes-related complications. CAV1 (caveolin 1)-mediated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle transcytosis across endothelial cells (ECs) is the initial step of atherosclerosis. MAP1LC3/LC3-interacting regions in the intramembrane domain (IMD) of CAV1 were buried in the caveolae and were not accessible for LC3B interaction, protecting CAV1 from autophagic degradation. However, the CSD domain of CAV1, exposed in the cytosol, directly interacted with a CBM domain of LC3B and inhibited autophagy. Therefore, the peptide IMD-CBM was constructed to induce the selective autophagic degradation of CAV1 and suppress LDL transcytosis in diabetic atherosclerosis. EC-specific expression of IMD-CBM was achieved using adenovirus. IMD-CBM directly interacted with CAV1 and LC3B in ECs, leading to the selective autophagic degradation of CAV1, activation of autophagy, and subsequent inhibition of LDL transcytosis. IMD-CBM promoted the autophagic degradation of CAV1 and consequently reduced the area of atherosclerotic plaques in
