GABAB receptor gene transfer into the nucleus tractus solitarii induces chronic blood pressure elevation in normotensive rats.
Article in Circulation journal : official journal of the Japanese Circulation Society, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundIncreasing evidence indicates that GABAergic neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) play a significant role in the arterial baroreceptor reflex and control of cardiovascular homeostasis. However, the role of these neurons in the development of hypertension is not yet fully clear. METHODS AND
resultsIn the present study, we first confirmed that GABAB receptor (GBR) expression is enhanced in the NTS of SHR as compared with WKY rats using real-time RT-PCR and western blots. To study the functional consequence of upregulated GBR expression, GBR was overexpressed in the NTS by bilateral microinjection of the AAV2-GBR1 viral vector into the NTS of WKY rats. Immunofluorescence staining and western blots demonstrated that microinjection of AAV2-GBR1 into the NTS of WKY rats resulted in a significant increase in GBR1 expression in the NTS neurons. Overexpression of GBR in the NTS induced a chronic elevation in blood pressure and heart rate in the normotensive WKY rats. In an acute study, the pressor response to baclofen microinjected into the NTS was enhanced in SHR as compared with WKY rats.
conclusionsGBR1 expression is enhanced in the NTS of SHR vs. WKY rats and overexpression of this gene in the NTS results in chronic elevation of blood pressure and heart rate in normotensive rats.
