Endothelin Receptor A Antagonism and Fetal Growth in Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Knockout Maternal and Fetal Mice.
Article in Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is commonly associated with perinatal morbidity and mortality. Nitric oxide (NO) deficiency increases endothelin-1 (ET-1) production, and this increased ET-1 may contribute to the pathophysiology of NO deficiency-induced FGR. Using an endothelial NO synthase knockout mouse model of FGR, we sought to determine (a) the relative importance of maternal versus conceptus (fetal and placental) NO deficiency and (b) the contribution of ET-1 to the pathogenesis of FGR in this model. Fetal growth restriction occurred both with NO-deficient conceptuses in the setting of maternal NO production and with maternal NO deficiency in the setting of NO-producing conceptuses. Placental ET-1 expression was increased in NO-deficient dams, ET receptor A (ETA) production increased in endothelial nitric oxide synthase(+/-) placentas, and antagonism of ETA prevented FGR. These results demonstrate that both maternal and conceptus NO deficiency can contribute to FGR and suggest a role for ETA antagonists as therapeutic agents in FGR.
