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

Angiotensin-(1-7) is increased in the circulation during human pregnancy, but its functional role is unknown. Recent studies suggested that it opposes angiotensin II mediated vascular growth. Because angiogenesis is critical to normal embryonic development during human pregnancy, this study assessed the in vitro effects of angiotensin-(1-7) on human umbilical vein endothelial cell tube formation. The blocking effects of the angiotensin-(1-7) receptor antagonist, D-[Alanine7]-Ang-(1-7), and angiotensin II receptor AT1 and AT2 antagonists, losartan and PD123319, on tube formation were measured by counting tube branch points. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cultured in EGM-2 medium and treated with angiotensin-(1-7) (0.17 nM-17 microM) for 18 h. Angiotensin-(1-7) inhibited tube formation by 24% (P < 0.01) at all doses tested. Treatment with 1.7 microM angiotensin-(1-7) plus 17 microM D-[Alanine7]-Ang-(1-7) resulted in the reversal of angiotensin-(1-7) mediated inhibition of tube formation (P < 0.05). Losartan (17 microM) also reversed the angiotensin-(1-7) mediated inhibition of tube formation (P < 0.05). Tube formation was unaffected by PD123319. These results suggest that angiotensin-(1-7) has an anti-angiogenic effect on human umbilical vein endothelial cells through a unique AT(1-7) receptor that is sensitive to losartan, indicating that angiotensin-(1-7) may play an important role in the regulation of vascular growth in the placenta during pregnancy.
