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

Dahl salt-sensitive (Dahl S) rats are prone to salt-dependent hypertension with severe organ damage, including stroke, cardiac failure and renal insufficiency. The mechanism for this susceptibility to kidney injury has not been elucidated. The present study proposed that an upregulation of intracellular signaling of angiotensin II (Ang-II) is responsible for the susceptibility to hypertensive kidney injury in Dahl S rats. Spontaneously hypertensive rats exhibited higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) and lower kidney damage than Dahl S rats fed a high-salt diet for 2 weeks. Ang-II infusion for 4 weeks significantly increased SBP in Dahl S and Dahl salt-resistant (Dahl R) rats fed a low-salt diet. The increase in SBP in Dahl S rats was associated with significant kidney injury with greater glomerular sclerosis (P<0.001). The expression of regulatory protein of Gαq signaling-2 (RGS2) mRNA in the aortic walls in response to Ang-II infusion was lower in Dahl S than Dahl R rats (P<0.05). Ang-II significantly increased RGS2 mRNA in the aorta in Dahl R rats, but the response was apparently blunted in Dahl S rats. These results suggest that Dahl S rats exhibit a blunted RGS2 response to Ang-II, and this blunted response may be partially responsible for the susceptibility to renal injury in Dahl S rats.
