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

This study was designed to identify the differential expression of the canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels in the left ventricle of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Echocardiography studies were performed to compare the left ventricular function in SHR vs. Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), and the mRNA level of the TRPC channels was determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). Western blots were performed to examine whether the mRNA expression corresponded with the protein expression. Compared with the WKY, the mRNA expression of TRPC4 and TRPC5 was significantly increased in the 10-week-old SHR (P = 0.032 for TRPC4 and P = 0.043 for TRPC5), so did the TRPC4/5 protein content. The midwall fractional shortening (mFS) of SHR was lower than WKY (P = 0.016). Furthermore, increased expression of TRPC4/5 was correlated with both increased blood pressure and decreased mFS. These findings suggest that TRPC4 and 5 seem to be the main subtypes expressed in the heart of the SHR at the beginning period of hypertension. Theses channels may participate in the development of left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
