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 purposeArteries from hypertensive subjects are reportedly hyperresponsive to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), but it remains unclear whether this is true in chronic type 2 diabetes. We have assessed responses to 5-HT shown by mesenteric arteries from type 2 diabetic ob/ob mice (27-32 weeks old) and have identified the molecular mechanisms involved. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Contractions of mesenteric rings to 5-HT were examined in vitro. Activation of mesenteric RhoA, Rho kinase and Src was measured by Western blotting or by modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. KEY

resultsConcentration-dependent contractions to 5-HT were greater in mesenteric rings from the ob/ob than in those from the age-matched control ('Lean') group. In each group, there was no significant change in the 5-HT-induced contractions after inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (with N(G)-nitro-L-arginine), of cyclooxygenase (with indomethacin) or of protein kinase C (with chelerythrine). However inhibition of the MEK/ERK pathway (with PD98059) decreased the response to 5-HT. Although the diabetes-related enhancement of the 5-HT response was preserved with each of these inhibitors, enhancement was abolished by a Rho kinase inhibitor (Y27632) and by Src kinase inhibitors (PP1 analogue or Src kinase inhibitor I). 5-HT-induced activation of RhoA, Rho kinase and Src kinase in mesenteric arteries was greater in the ob/ob than in the Lean group, but the expression of RhoA, Rho kinase isoforms and Src did not differ between these groups. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: These results suggest that the enhancement of 5-HT-induced contraction in mesenteric arteries from ob/ob mice may be attributable to increased activation of RhoA/Rho kinase and Src kinase.
