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

objectiveSexual dimorphism in the degree of high blood pressure (BP) has been observed in both animal and human hypertension. However, the mechanisms are still poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that long-term loss of sex steroids promotes changes in mesenteric vascular reactivity that impact the maintenance of hypertension in the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).

methodsMale SHR were sham operated (M-SHAM) or castrated (M-CX), and female SHR were sham-operated (F-SHAM) or ovariectomized (F-OVX) at 3 weeks of age. Seven months later, BP was measured in anesthetized rats, and vascular responsiveness was evaluated in the isolated perfused mesentery.

resultsMean arterial BP (mm Hg) was significantly greater in M-SHAM (186 ± 6) compared with F-SHAM (159 ± 5). Gonadectomy reduced BP in male SHR (M-CX: 160 ± 4) but had no significant effect in female SHR (F-OVX: 153 ± 7). Norepinephrine-induced constriction was similar in all groups. Gonadectomy attenuated serotonin-induced vasoconstriction in the mesentery. Acetylcholine (ACh)- and isoproterenol (ISO)-induced vasodilation was greater in female than male SHR. Ovariectomy of female SHR blunted ACh and ISO dilatory responses. ISO dose-response curves were shifted to the left in castrated male SHR.

conclusionsGonadectomy exerts long-term effects on mesenteric vascular reactivity and hypertension in the SHR.
