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 presence of a brain renin angiotensin system (RAS) is well documented. An overactive brain RAS contributes to the development and progression of cardiovascular and renal disorders among other conditions. In hypertension, an augmented brain RAS leads to an increase in sympathetic nervous system activity. In addition, impaired baroreceptor reflex function, increased vasopressin activity and neuroinflammation are important contributors as well. The relevance of angiotensins in central and peripheral systems, such as neurons and vascular smooth muscle cells, in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis is fairly understood. However, the role of astrocytes is less well studied. Astrocytes are a major contributor to neuroinflammation by increased synthesis and secretion of inflammatory mediators, dysregulated astrogliosis and impaired astrocyte proliferation. Astrocytes may also contribute to impaired neuromodulation. The precise molecular mechanisms by which astrocytes mediate these effects are still not fully understood. Here, we summarize the role of astrocytes in RAS -mediated pathogenesis of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases.
