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 purposeIntermedin (IMD) is a newly identified member of the calcitonin family of peptides that shares structural and functional homology with adrenomedullin (AM). In vivo cardiovascular effects of AM have been described, but relatively little is known of the in vivo actions of IMD. The purpose of this study was to compare the regional haemodynamic effects of IMD with those of AM in conscious rats, and investigate possible underlying mechanisms. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Measurements of blood pressure, heart rate and renal, mesenteric and hindquarters haemodynamics were made in conscious, chronically-instrumented rats. KEY

resultsIMD caused tachycardia and vasodilatation in all three vascular beds, associated with modest hypotension. At an equimolar dose (1 nmol.kg(-1)), most of the cardiovascular effects of IMD were greater than those of AM. The AM receptor antagonist, AM(22-52), was equally effective in attenuating the renal and mesenteric vasodilator effects of IMD (1 nmol.kg(-1)) and AM (3 nmol.kg(-1)), but inhibition of NO synthase was more effective at reducing the vasodilator effects of IMD than AM. Vascular K(ATP) channel blockade with U-37883A did not inhibit the vasodilator effects of either peptide. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: In vivo, the regional haemodynamic profile of IMD resembles that of AM, and some of the vasodilator effects of IMD are mediated by AM receptors and NO, but not by K(ATP) channels. The cardiovascular effects of AM have been implicated in various pathological conditions, but whether or not endogenous IMD fulfils a similar role remains to be determined.
