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

Renovascular hypertension is characterized by increased angiotensin II and oxidative stress, and by endothelial dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to test whether the administration of aliskiren (ALSK) and l-arginine (l-ARG) would restore impaired baroreflex sensitivity and reduce oxidative stress in a rat renovascular hypertension model. Hypertension was induced by clipping the left renal artery, and the following five groups were created: SHAM; two-kidney, 1-clip (2K1C); 2K1C plus ALSK (ALSK); 2K1C plus l-ARG (l-ARG); and 2K1C plus ALSK+l-ARG (ALSK+l-ARG). After 21 days of treatment, only the ALSK+l-ARG group was effective in normalizing the arterial pressure (108.8±2.8 mm Hg). The l-ARG and ALSK+l-ARG groups did not show hypertrophy of the left ventricle. All the treatments restored the depressed baroreflex sensitivity to values found in the SHAM group. Acute administration of TEMPOL restored the depressed baroreflex sensitivity in the 2K1C group to values that resembled those presented by the other groups. All treatments were effective for an increase in the antioxidant pathway and reduction in the oxidative pathway. In conclusion, the treatment with ALSK or l-ARG reduced oxidative stress and restored reduced baroreflex sensitivity in renovascular hypertension. In addition, the treatments were able to normalize blood pressure and reverse left ventricular hypertrophy when used in combination.
