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

Nicousamide, a coumarin-aspirin compound, was proven to have a renal protective effect on diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-hypertensive effect of nicousamide and its action mechanisms. The two-kidney one-clip (2K1C) hypertensive animal model was introduced in this study. Subsequent to treatment with nicousamide for three weeks, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured, and the plasma concentration of angiotensin II (Ang II), nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was examined. Results showed that nicousamide markedly decreased SBP as well as DBP on renovascular hypertensive rats (P<0.05). Nicousamide also reduced the Ang II and ET-1 concentration (P<0.05) in the plasma of hypertensive rats while increasing the plasma NO level (P<0.05). Nicousamide treatment did not show a marked effect on the NOS and CGRP concentrations in animal plasma (P>0.05).
