Overexpression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 in visceral adipose tissue and underexpression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in the adrenal cortex of dogs with hyperadrenocorticism.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) is an enzyme that activates cortisone into cortisol in tissues. Alterations in this enzyme are related to the development of metabolic syndrome, obesity and hyperadrenocorticism (HAC). Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) produces nitric oxide and is related to the regulation of adrenal steroidogenesis. The aim of the study was to evaluate 11β-HSD1 and eNOS expression in dogs with HAC. Visceral adipose tissue samples were taken to evaluate 11β-HSD1 expression by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. In parallel, adrenal gland samples were collected to evaluate eNOS expression by immunohistochemistry. 11β-HSD1 expression was significantly higher in the adipocytes of dogs with HAC than in those of the control dogs. eNOS expression in the adrenal cortex (zona fasciculata) was significantly lower in the dogs with HAC than in the control dogs. 11β-HSD1 overexpression and eNOS underexpression could play a role in the maintenance of hypercortisolism in dogs with HAC.
