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

Actions of the lipid mediator thromboxane (Tx) A2 acting through the TP receptor contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. To further explore the role of TxA2 in hypertension, we examined the consequences of deficiency of the TP receptor on the course of hypertension associated with endothelial dysfunction and salt sensitivity. To this end, the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) was administered to TP-deficient (Tp-/-) and wild-type (Tp+/+) control mice in drinking water for 21 wk along with a high-salt (HS; 6% NaCl) diet. Administration of L-NAME increased urinary excretion of TxB2 to a similar extent in both Tp+/+ and Tp-/- animals. L-NAME also caused significant and sustained elevations in blood pressure that reached a maximum between weeks 3 and 6. However, the severity of hypertension was attenuated in the Tp-/- mice throughout the study period (P<0.001). At the end of the study, the wild-type mice developed significant cardiac hypertrophy (23.6+/-2% increase in heart-to-body weight ratio). The severity of cardiac hypertrophy was attenuated in the TP-deficient group (11.1+/-2.6%; P<0.05). In contrast, kidney hypertrophy was exaggerated in the Tp-/- mice compared with controls (37.1+/-5.4 vs. 12.3+/-2.3%; P<0.01). Moreover, the severity of glomerulosclerosis, tubule vacuolization, and interstitial chronic inflammation was also enhanced in the Tp-/- group (P<0.01). Thus, in L-NAME hypertension, TP receptors contribute to elevated blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy. In this model, TP receptors also provided unexpected protection against kidney injury.
