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

The resistance arteries and arterioles are the vascular components of the circulatory system where the greatest drop in blood pressure takes place. Consequently, these vessels play a preponderant role in the regulation of blood flow and the modulation of blood pressure. For this reason, the inward remodeling process of the resistance vasculature, as it occurs in hypertension, has profound consequences on the incidence of life-threatening cardiovascular events. In this manuscript, we review some of the most prominent characteristics of inwardly remodeled resistance arteries including their changes in vascular passive diameter, wall thickness, and elastic properties. Then, we explore the known contribution of the different components of the vascular wall to the characteristics of inwardly remodeled vessels, and pay particular attention to the role the vascular smooth muscle actin cytoskeleton may play on the initial stages of the remodeling process. We end by proposing potential ways by which many of the factors and mechanisms known to participate in the inward remodeling process may be associated with cytoskeletal modifications and participate in reducing the passive diameter of resistance vessels.
