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

background and purposeThe ω-6 fatty acid-derived lipid mediators such as prostanoids, thromboxane and leukotrienes have well-established roles in regulating both inflammation and smooth muscle contractility. Resolvins are derived from ω-3 fatty acids and have important roles in promoting the resolution of inflammation, but their activity on smooth muscle contractility is unknown. We investigated whether resolvin E1 (RvE1), resolvin D1 (RvD1) and resolvin D2 (RvD2) can modulate contractions of isolated segments of rat thoracic aorta (RTA) or human pulmonary artery (HPA) induced by the α EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Contractile responses in RTA and HPA were measured using wire myography. Receptor expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry. KEY

resultsConstriction of RTA segments by U46619, but not by phenylephrine, was significantly inhibited by pretreatment for 1 or 24 h with 10-100 nM RvE1, RvD1 or RvD2. The inhibitory effect of RvE1 was partially blocked by a chemerin receptor antagonist (CCX832). RvE1 at only 1-10 nM also significantly inhibited U46619-induced constriction of HPA segments, and the chemerin receptor, GPR32 and FPR2/ALX were identified in HPA smooth muscle. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: These data suggest that resolvins or their mimetics may prove useful novel therapeutics in diseases such as pulmonary arterial hypertension, which are characterized by increased thromboxane contractile activity.
