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

Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), the standard treatment for chronic proteinuric nephropathy, slows but may not halt progression of the disease, particularly when therapy is started late. Because vasopressin may also play a role in the progression of renal disease, we measured the effect of a dual V(1a) and V(2) vasopressin receptor antagonist (RWJ-676070) alone or combined with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition or angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade on proteinuria and renal disease progression during overt nephropathy. Twenty-one days after renal mass reduction, a time of established injury, rats were given vehicle, RWJ-676070, enalapril, losartan, RWJ-676070 plus enalapril, or losartan in drinking water for an additional 39 days. RWJ-676070 returned the blood pressure to pre-treatment levels, which were significantly lower than those in vehicle-treated rats. Enalapril, losartan, and the combined therapies reduced blood pressure to a greater extent. RWJ-676070 afforded a partial antiproteinuric effect, which was enhanced by the addition of enalapril or losartan. Renal functional impairment, and glomerular and tubular changes were partially ameliorated by RWJ-676070; parameters significantly improved with either enalapril or losartan alone and improved to a greater extent with the combined therapies. Our findings suggest that vasopressin receptor antagonists could be of additional therapeutic value in the treatment of chronic proteinuric nephropathy.
