Review in Current hypertension reports, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00874432 (Effect of ACE-inhibitors on Aortic Stiffness in Elderly Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 42 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

A major hemodynamic abnormality in hypertension is increased peripheral resistance due to changes in vascular structure and function. Structural changes include reduced lumen diameter and arterial wall thickening. Functional changes include increased vasoconstriction and/or decreased vasodilation. These processes are influenced by many humoral factors, of which angiotensin II (Ang II) seems to be critical. At the cellular level, Ang II stimulates vascular smooth muscle cell growth, increases collagen deposition, induces inflammation, increases contractility, and decreases dilation. Molecular mechanisms associated with these changes in hypertension include upregulation of many signaling pathways, including tyrosine kinases, mitogen-activated protein kinases, RhoA/Rho kinase, and increased generation of reactive oxygen species. This review focuses on the role of Ang II in vascular functional and structural changes of small arteries in hypertension. In addition, cellular processes whereby Ang II influences vessels in hypertension are discussed. Finally, novel concepts related to signaling pathways by which Ang II regulates vascular smooth muscle cells in hypertension are introduced.
