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

background and purposeExperiments were designed to determine the modulation by nitric oxide (NO) and endothelium-dependent hyperpolarizations (EDHF-mediated responses) of endothelium-dependent contractions in renal arteries of normotensive and hypertensive rats. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Rings, with or without endothelium, of renal arteries of 8-month-old Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were suspended in myographs for isometric force recording. KEY

resultsACh evoked relaxations in preparations contracted with phenylephrine. L-NAME (inhibitor of NOS) attenuated (WKY) or abolished (SHR) these relaxations. TRAM-34 plus UCL 1684 (inhibitors of EDHF-mediated responses) did not decrease the relaxation, except in rings of WKY when L-NAME was also present. High concentrations of ACh caused a secondary increase in tension, augmented in rings of WKY by L-NAME or TRAM-34 plus UCL 1684. The increase in tension was prevented by indomethacin. Under baseline tension, ACh induced endothelium-dependent contractions, prevented by indomethacin (COX inhibitor) or terutroban (TP receptor antagonist). The calculated endothelium-dependent contractions were larger in rings of SHR compared with those of WKY. In preparations of SHR, the contractions were augmented by L-NAME in the presence of SC19220 (EP-1 receptor antagonist). In arteries of WKY, the endothelium-dependent contractions were augmented by TRAM-34 plus UCL 1684. The responses were reduced by SC19220. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: In the renal artery of the rat, EDCF-mediated contractions are augmented by hypertension. The endothelium-dependent contractions are facilitated by NOS inhibition (in the presence of an EP-1 receptor antagonist) and by the withdrawal of EDHF-mediated responses.
