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

unlabelledThe aim of this study was to determine the effect of RNA interference inhibition of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) on cold-induced hypertension (CIH) and renal damage. Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) carrying short hairpin small interference (si)RNA for MR (AAV.MR-shRNA) was constructed and tested for the ability to inhibit renal MR and to control CIH. Three groups of rats with CIH received AAV.MR-shRNA (1.25 x 10(9) particles/rat, intravenous), AAV carrying scrambled shRNA (AAV.Control-shRNA) (1.25 x 10(9) particles/rat, intravenous) and phosphate buffer solution (PBS), respectively. All rats were kept in a cold chamber (6.7 degrees C) throughout the experiment. Adeno-associated virus delivery of MR-shRNA prevented progression of CIH. Blood pressure (BP) of the AAV.MR-shRNA-treated group did not increase and remained at 145+/-3 mm Hg, whereas BP of the AAV.Control-shRNA-treated and PBS-treated group increased to 167+/-4 and 161+/-3 mm Hg, respectively, at 3 weeks after gene delivery. Thus, the antihypertensive effect of a single injection of AAV.MR-shRNA lasted for at least 3 weeks (length of the study). Adeno-associated virus carrying short hairpin siRNA for MR significantly increased urinary sodium excretion and decreased proteinuria. It also decreased serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, suggesting enhanced renal function. Both Western blot and immunohistochemical analysis showed that MR expression was decreased significantly in the kidney in the AAV.MR-shRNA-treated rats, confirming that renal MR is effectively inhibited by AAV.MR-shRNA. Adeno-associated virus carrying short hairpin siRNA for MR also significantly attenuated renal hypertrophy. In addition, AAV delivery of MR-shRNA prevented atrophy and dilation of renal tubules and abolished tubular deposition of proteinaceous material seen in CIH rats.

conclusions(1) AAV delivery of MR-shRNA effectively silenced MR in vivo. (2) RNA interference inhibition of MR may open a new avenue for the long-term control of hypertension and renal damage.
