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

Endothelin is one of the most potent peptide vasoconstrictors thus far characterised. It is produced by the cleavage of its precursor big endothelin-1 by endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1). The endothelin system which includes endothelin-1 (ET-1), ET receptors and ECE-1 is well characterised in the kidney and is known to play a key role in the pathogenesis of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Therefore, inhibition of ECE-1 and antagonism of ET receptors represent potential therapeutic approaches for the treatment of ESRD. Here, we review the current literature on the localisation of ECE-1 in the normal kidney and how ECE-1 expression is altered in pathological conditions leading to ESRD. We also discuss the roles of neutral endopeptidase (NEP) and chymase in mediating the production of ET-1 in the kidney in ESRD. As such, we also discuss that complete inhibition of ET-1 production in the kidney requires the inhibition of ECE-1, NEP and chymase.
