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 evaluated endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation in response to acetylcholine (ACh) in isolated middle cerebral arteries (MCA) from Dahl salt-sensitive (Dahl SS) rats and three different congenic strains that contain a portion of Brown Norway (BN) chromosome 13 introgressed onto the Dahl SS genetic background through marker-assisted breeding. Two of the congenic strains carry a 3.5-Mbp portion and a 2.6-Mbp portion of chromosome 13 that lie on opposite sides of the renin locus, while the third contains a 2.0-Mbp overlapping region that includes the BN renin allele. While maintained on a normal salt (0.4% NaCl) diet, MCAs from Dahl SS rats and the congenic strains retaining the Dahl SS renin allele failed to dilate in response to ACh, whereas MCAs from the congenic strain carrying the BN renin allele exhibited normal vascular relaxation. In congenic rats receiving the BN renin allele, vasodilator responses to ACh were eliminated by nitric oxide synthase inhibition with N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition with captopril, and AT(1) receptor blockade with losartan. N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester-sensitive vasodilation in response to ACh was restored in MCAs of Dahl SS rats that received either a 3-day infusion of a subpressor dose of angiotensin II (3 ng·kg(-1)·min(-1) iv), or chronic treatment with the superoxide dismutase mimetic tempol (15 mg·kg(-1)·day(-1)). These findings indicate that the presence of the Dahl SS renin allele plays a crucial role in endothelial dysfunction present in the cerebral circulation of the Dahl SS rat, even in the absence of elevated dietary salt intake, and that introgression of the BN renin allele rescues endothelium-dependent vasodilator responses by restoring normal activation of the renin-angiotensin system.
