Acute effect of a dual ETA-ETB receptor antagonist on pulmonary arterial vasculature in preterm lamb fetuses with surgically induced diaphragmatic hernia.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo study the effects of tezosentan, a dual ETA and ETB receptor antagonist on the cardiopulmonary profile in a fetal lamb model of CDH in utero.
methodsA diaphragmatic hernia was surgically created at day 75 of gestation. During 45 min of tezosentan perfusion (1 mg/kg), hemodynamic parameters (pulmonary and aortic pressures, left pulmonary and aortic flows, left auricle pressure, heart rate) were measured at day 135 of gestation. Age-matched fetal lambs served as control animals. Secondarily, parietal tension of vessels rings of pulmonary arteries was assessed in organ baths under increasing concentration of tezosentan.
resultsIn CDH group, under perfusion of tezosentan, pulmonary artery pressure decreased from 45.8 ± 4.1 to 37.6 ± 5.9 mmHg (P < 0.05). Pulmonary artery flow and pulmonary vascular resistance remained constant. In control group, pulmonary artery flow increased from 153.9 ± 15.8 to 233.4 ± 26 ml/min (P < 0.05). Pulmonary artery pressure did not vary. Subsequently calculated pulmonary vascular resistance decreased. In organ bath, no significant relaxation was observed.
conclusionIn this fetal lamb model of CDH, tezosentan decreased pulmonary artery pressure but did not modify pulmonary blood flow. Endothelin may play a role in the regulation of pulmonary vascular tone in utero.
