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

Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is a rapidly progressive disorder, which leads to right heart failure and even death. Overactivity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and sympathetic nervous system accounts for the development and progression of PAH. The role of renal denervation (RDN) in different periods of PAH has not been fully elucidated. A single intraperitoneal injection of monocrotaline (MCT, 60 mg/kg) was used to induce pulmonary remodeling in male Sprague Dawley rats (n = 40). After 24-hour of MCT administration, a subset of rats underwent RDN (RDN24h, n = 10); after 2-week of MCT injection, another ten rats received RDN treatment (RDN2w, n = 10) and the left 20 rats were divided to MCT group with sham RDN operation (MCT, n = 20). Eight rats in Control group received intraperitoneal injection of normal saline (60 mg/kg) once and sham RDN surgery. After 35 days, tissue and blood samples were collected. Histological analysis demonstrated that the collagen volume fraction of right ventricle, lung tissue and pulmonary vessel reduced significantly in RDN24h group but not in the RDN2w group, compared with MCT group. Moreover, the earlier RDN treatment significantly decreased SNS activity and blunted RAAS activation. Importantly, RDN treatment significantly improved the survival rate. In summary, earlier RDN treatment could attenuate cardio-pulmonary fibrosis and therefore might be a promising approach to prevent the development of PAH.
