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

Excessive proliferation of vascular smooth cells (VSMCs) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of diverse vascular disorders, and inhibition of VSMCs proliferation has been proved to be beneficial to these diseases. In this study, we investigated the antiproliferative effect of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), a natriuretic peptide with potent antioxidant capacity, on rat aortic VSMCs, and the possible mechanisms involved. The results indicate that BNP potently inhibited AngiotensinII (AngII)-induced VSMCs proliferation, as evaluated by [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation assay. Consistently, BNP significantly decreased AngII-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and NAD(P)H oxidase activity. 8-Br-cGMP, a cGMP analog, mimicked these effects. To confirm its mechanism, siRNA of natriuretic peptide receptor-A(NRPA) strategy technology was used to block cGMP production in VSMCs, and siNPRA attenuated the inhibitory effects of BNP in VSMCs. Taken together, these results indicate that BNP was capable of inhibiting VSMCs proliferation by NPRA/cGMP pathway, which might be associated with the suppression of ROS production. These results might be related, at least partly, to the anti-oxidant property of BNP.
