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

aimsA number of endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) are currently in clinical development as potential therapies in states characterized by vasoconstriction, such as systemic hypertension. We investigated the haemodynamic effects of locally and systemically active doses of BMS-193884, an endothelin A (ET(A)) receptor selective ERA, and its influence on vasoconstriction to endothelin-1 (ET-1) in healthy men.

methodsIn three separate randomized, placebo-controlled studies, the forearm blood flow (FBF) response to intra-arterial (i.a.) infusion of ET-1 (5 pmol min(-1)) was assessed during i.a. co-infusion of BMS-193884 (5 and 50 nmol min(-1)), and at 12 and at 24 h after oral administration of BMS-193884 (50, 100 and 200 mg at 12 h; and 200 mg at 24 h). Data were examined by repeated-measures analysis of variance (anova) with treatment and subject as factors.

resultsET-1 caused significant forearm vasoconstriction, attenuated after oral dosing with BMS-193884 (200 mg) at 12 (P < 0.01) and 24 h (P < 0.0001). BMS-193884 (50 nmol min(-1), i.a.) caused local vasodilatation (25 +/- 11%) when infused alone (P = 0.02) and abolished forearm vasoconstriction to ET-1 (P < 0.0001 vs. ET-1 alone). Orally, BMS-193884 (200 mg) caused a reduction in total systemic vascular resistance at 12 (-14 +/- 9%, P = 0.03) and 24 h (-12 +/- 7%, P < 0.0001). There was no rise in plasma ET-1 levels.

conclusionBMS-193884 causes local and systemic vasodilatation and attenuation of local vasoconstriction to ET-1. The absence of a rise in plasma endothelin levels suggests BMS-193884 is selective for the ET(A) receptor. This form of pharmacodynamic modelling may be useful in the development of ERAs in cardiovascular disease.
