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

Vascular injury and remodeling are common pathological sequelae of hypertension. Previous studies have suggested that the renin-angiotensin system acting through the type 1 angiotensin II (AT(1)) receptor promotes vascular pathology in hypertension. To study the role of AT(1) receptors in this process, we generated mice with cell-specific deletion of AT(1) receptors in vascular smooth muscle cells using Cre/Loxp technology. We crossed the SM22α-Cre transgenic mouse line expressing Cre recombinase in smooth muscle cells with a mouse line bearing a conditional allele of the Agtr1a gene (Agtr1a (flox)), encoding the major murine AT(1) receptor isoform (AT(1A)). In SM22α-Cre(+)Agtr1a (flox/flox) (SMKO) mice, AT(1A) receptors were efficiently deleted from vascular smooth muscle cells in larger vessels but not from resistance vessels such as preglomerular arterioles. Thus, vasoconstrictor responses to angiotensin II were preserved in SMKO mice. To induce hypertensive vascular remodeling, mice were continuously infused with angiotensin II for 4 weeks. During infusion of angiotensin II, blood pressures increased significantly and to a similar extent in SMKO and control mice. In control mice, there was evidence of vascular oxidative stress indicated by enhanced nitrated tyrosine residues in segments of aorta; this was significantly attenuated in SMKO mice. Despite these differences in oxidative stress, the extent of aortic medial expansion induced by angiotensin II infusion was virtually identical in both groups. Thus, vascular AT(1A) receptors promote oxidative stress in the aortic wall but are not required for remodeling in angiotensin II-dependent hypertension.
