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

The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family of enzymes regulates collagen cross-linking. LOX is upregulated in hypertension, increasing vascular stiffness. In vivo human research is sparse, as long-term LOX inhibition in animals causes vascular instability. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of LOX inhibition on cutaneous microvascular function to determine whether LOX function was upregulated in hypertensive humans. Four intradermal microdialysis fibers were placed in the forearm of 10 young [age: 24 ± 1 yr, mean arterial pressure (MAP): 87 ± 2 mmHg], 10 normotensive (age: 50 ± 2 yr, MAP: 84 ± 1 mmHg), and 10 hypertensive (age: 53 ± 2 yr, MAP: 112 ± 2 mmHg) subjects. Two sites were perfused with 10 mM β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) to inhibit LOX. The remaining two sites were perfused with lactated Ringer solution (control). A norepinephrine dose response (10
