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

Aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor is expected to achieve sufficient suppression of renin-angiotensin system. We evaluated the effect of aliskiren on the electrical and structural remodeling in a canine atrial fibrillation (AF) model. Twenty-eight dogs were divided into three groups: (1) pacing control group (n = 12), with continuous atrial rapid pacing for 3 or 6 weeks, (2) pacing + aliskiren group (n = 12), with oral aliskiren (30 mg/kg/day), and (3) sham group (n = 4), no pacing nor drug administration. Electrophysiological properties and AF inducibility were evaluated every week. After the protocol, the left atrial tissue was sampled for the further histological and mRNA analysis. The electrical remodeling, AF inducibility, the left atrial enlargement and interstitial fibrosis were observed in pacing control group and were more prominent in the 6-week protocol (vs. 3 week, p < 0.05). The mRNA expressions of matricellular proteins exhibited upregulation in 3-week pacing control, but these upregulations became insignificant in 6 weeks. In contrast, collagen type 3 exhibited significant upregulation in 6 week but not in 3-week protocol. These changes were suppressed in the pacing + aliskiren group. Aliskiren suppressed the atrial remodeling in a canine AF model. This effect was accompanied by the suppression of tissue fibrosis.
