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

backgroundIn response to high salt intake, transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) 1α activates many antihypertensive genes, such as heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) 1 and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) in the renal medulla, which is an important molecular adaptation to promote extra sodium excretion. We recently showed that high salt inhibited the expression of HIF prolyl-hydroxylase 2 (PHD2), an enzyme that promotes the degradation of HIF-1α, thereby upregulating HIF-1α, and that high salt-induced inhibition in PHD2 and subsequent activation of HIF-1α in the renal medulla was blunted in Dahl salt-sensitive hypertensive rats. This study tested the hypothesis that silencing the PHD2 gene to increase HIF-1α levels in the renal medulla attenuates salt-sensitive hypertension in Dahl S rats.

methodsPHD2 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) plasmids were transfected into the renal medulla in uninephrectomized Dahl S rats. Renal function and blood pressure were then measured.

resultsPHD2 shRNA reduced PHD2 levels by >60% and significantly increased HIF-1α protein levels and the expression of HIF-1α target genes HO-1 and COX-2 by >3-fold in the renal medulla. Functionally, pressure natriuresis was remarkably enhanced, urinary sodium excretion was doubled after acute intravenous sodium loading, and chronic high salt-induced sodium retention was remarkably decreased, and as a result, salt-sensitive hypertension was significantly attenuated in PHD2 shRNA rats compared with control rats.

conclusionsImpaired PHD2 response to high salt intake in the renal medulla may represent a novel mechanism for hypertension in Dahl S rats, and inhibition of PHD2 in the renal medulla could be a therapeutic approach for salt-sensitive hypertension.
