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 present study evaluated the role of oxidative stress on alpha(2)-adrenoceptor-mediated events (Cl(-)/HCO (3) (-) exchanger activity and cAMP accumulation) in immortalized renal proximal tubular epithelial (PTE) cells from the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and its normotensive control (Wistar Kyoto rat; WKY). The exposure of cells to alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonist UK 14,304 reduced Cl(-)/HCO (3) (-) exchanger activity with EC(50) of 2.0 microM in SHR PTE cells, whereas in WKY PTE cells no effects were observed. These effects were abolished by yohimbine, an alpha(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist, but insensitive to prazosin. Both forskolin and dibutyryl cAMP stimulated Cl(-)/HCO (3) (-) exchanger activity in WKY and SHR PTE cells, which was prevented by the PKA inhibitor H-89. Forskolin increased cAMP levels in both WKY and SHR PTE cells to a similar extent, but UK 14,304 significantly reduced the forskolin-induced increase in cAMP levels in only SHR PTE cells. Immunoblotting showed that expression of alpha(2B)-adrenoceptors was 12-times greater in SHR PTE cells than in WKY PTE cells. SHR PTE cells have increased levels of H(2)O(2) and overexpress type 2 NADPH oxidase (NOX2) and p22(phox) compared with WKY cells. In SHR PTE cells, the NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin reduced their increased ability to generate H(2)O(2) and abolished the inhibitory effects of UK 14,304 on Cl(-)/HCO (3) (-) exchanger activity and cAMP accumulation. It is concluded that differences between WKY and SHR PTE cells on their sensitivity to alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonists correlate with the expression of alpha(2B)-adrenoceptors. The increased generation of H(2)O(2) amplifies the response downstream to alpha(2)-adrenoceptor activation in SHR PTE cells.
