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

Long-term angiotensin II (ANG II) infusion significantly increases ANG II levels in the kidney through two major mechanisms: AT1 receptor-mediated augmentation of angiotensinogen (AGT) expression and uptake of circulating ANG II by the proximal tubules. However, it is not known whether intracellular ANG II stimulates AGT expression in the proximal tubule. In the present study, we overexpressed an intracellular cyan fluorescent ANG II fusion protein (Ad-sglt2-ECFP/ANG II) selectively in the proximal tubule of rats and mice using the sodium and glucose cotransporter 2 (sglt2) promoter. AGT mRNA and protein expression in the renal cortex and 24-h urinary AGT excretion were determined 4 wk following overexpression of ECFP/ANG II in the proximal tubule. Systolic blood pressure was significantly increased with a small antinatriuretic effect in rats and mice with proximal tubule-selective expression of ECFP/ANG II (P < 0.01). AGT mRNA and protein expression in the cortex were increased by >1.5-fold and 61 ± 16% (P < 0.05), whereas urinary AGT excretion was increased from 48.7 ± 5.7 (n = 13) to 102 ± 13.5 (n = 13) ng/24 h (P < 0.05). However, plasma AGT, renin activity, and ANG II levels remained unaltered by ECFP/ANG II. The increased AGT mRNA and protein expressions in the cortex by ECFP/ANG II were blocked in AT1a-knockout (KO) mice. Studies in cultured mouse proximal tubule cells demonstrated involvement of AT1a receptor/MAP kinases/NF-кB signaling pathways. These results indicate that intracellular ANG II stimulates AGT expression in the proximal tubules, leading to increased AGT formation and secretion into the tubular fluid, which contributes to ANG II-dependent hypertension.
