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

aimsRegulator of G protein signaling 5 (RGS5) modulates G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling and is markedly upregulated in angiogenesis. However, its function in endothelial cells and its role in mediating postnatal angiogenesis remain unclear. The purpose of this study is to define the role of endothelial RGS5 in regulating VEGF signaling and angiogenesis. METHODS AND

resultsIn a hindlimb ischemia model, we found impaired postnatal angiogenesis, reduced perfusion recovery, and increased rates of auto-amputation in mice with either global or endothelial-specific deletion of Rgs5. Rgs5 deficiency in ECs led to reduced VEGFR2 phosphorylation at Tyr

conclusionEndothelial RGS5 is a critical regulator of VEGF signaling and postnatal angiogenesis. By attenuating SHP-1-mediated dephosphorylation of VEGFR2, RGS5 preserves VEGF signaling and angiogenesis. Targeting the RGS5-SHP-1 axis may be a useful therapeutic strategy for improving angiogenesis in response to ischemia.
