High sugar intake blunts arterial baroreflex via estrogen receptors in perinatal taurine supplemented rats.
Article in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
In adult rats, perinatal taurine depletion followed by high sugar intake alters neural and renal control of arterial pressure via the renin-angiotensin system. This study tests the hypothesis that perinatal taurine supplementation predisposes adult female rats to the adverse arterial pressure effect of high sugar intake via the renin-angiotensin system, rather than via estrogen. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed normal rat chow with 3% taurine (taurine supplementation, TS) or water alone (control, C) from conception to weaning. Their female offspring were fed normal rat chow with either 5% glucose in tap water (TSG, CG) or tap water alone (TSW, CW). At 7-8 weeks of age, the female offspring's renin-angiotensin system or estrogen receptors were inhibited by captopril or tamoxifen, respectively. Body weight, heart weight, kidney weight, mean arterial pressures (MAP), and heart rates were not significantly different among groups without captopril or tamoxifen. Captopril (but not tamoxifen) decreased MAP but not heart rates in all groups. In TSG compared to TSW, CW, and CG groups, baroreflex sensitivity of heart rate (BSHR) and renal nerve activity (BSRA) were significantly decreased. Neither captopril nor tamoxifen altered BSHR in TSG, but tamoxifen (but not captopril) restored TSG BSRA to CW or CG control levels. Perinatal taurine supplementation did not disturb sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve activity in the adult rats on high or basal sugar intake. Compared to its effect in CW and CG groups, tamoxifen increased sympathetic but decreased parasympathetic activity less in TSG and TSW groups. Inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system did not affect autonomic nerve activity in any group. These data suggest that in adult female rats that are perinatally supplemented with taurine, high sugar intake after weaning blunts arterial baroreflex via an estrogen (but not renin-angiotensin) mechanism.
