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

The mineralocorticoid aldosterone is one of the major regulators of extracellular volume and blood pressure. It acts by enhancing Na(+) reabsorption across tight epithelia such as renal collecting ducts and colon. In addition, it has been shown that aldosterone stimulates NaCl and volume reabsorption in renal proximal tubules by an unknown mechanism. To test the hypothesis that the application of aldosterone results in greater activity of the apical Na(+)/H(+) exchanger-3 (NHE3), we investigated the effect of aldosterone on amiloride-sensitive, proximal tubular volume reabsorption and proximal tubular NHE3 abundance in adrenalectomized rats. Aldosterone at physiological concentrations (dosage 36 microg/100 g b.w. per day) increased NHE3-dependent proximal tubular volume reabsorption and the abundance of NHE3 in brush borders without changing the total amount of NHE3 in cortical homogenates. These results indicate that renal proximal tubular NHE3 is a target for aldosterone-mediated regulation resulting in increased Na(+) reabsorption and thus extracellular volume and blood pressure. Further studies are required to determine the precise mechanism of action, especially whether the action of aldosterone on proximal tubular function is direct or indirect.
