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

Two kinin receptors have been described, the inducible B(1) and the constitutive B(2). B(1) receptors are important in cardiovascular homeostasis and inflammation. To further clarify their vascular function, we have generated transgenic rats (TGR(Tie2B(1))) overexpressing the B(1) receptor exclusively in the endothelium. Endothelial cell-specific expression was confirmed by B(1)-agonist-induced relaxation of isolated aorta, which was abolished by endothelial denudation of the vessel. This vasodilatation was mediated by nitric oxide (NO) and K(+) channels. TGR(Tie2B(1)) rats were normotensive but, in contrast to controls, reacted with a marked fall in blood pressure and increased vascular permeability after intravenous injection of a B(1) agonist. After lipopolysaccharide treatment, they present a more pronounced hypotensive response and marked bradycardia associated with increased mortality when compared to non-transgenic control animals. Thus, the transgenic rats overexpressing kinin B(1) receptors exclusively in the endothelium generated in this study support an important role of this receptor in the vasculature during the pathogenesis of endotoxic shock.
