Sex differences in sympathetic vasoconstrictor responsiveness and sympatholysis.
Article in Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Sex differences in the neurovascular control of blood pressure and vascular resistance have been reported. However, the mechanisms underlying the modulatory influence of sex have not been fully elucidated. Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to inhibit sympathetic vasoconstriction in resting and contracting skeletal muscle, and estrogen modulates NO synthase (NOS) expression and NO bioavailability. Therefore NO-mediated inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstriction may be enhanced in females. Thus the purpose of the present study was to investigate the hypothesis that sympathetic vasoconstrictor responsiveness would be blunted and NO-mediated inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstriction would be enhanced in females compared with males.
