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

Renal denervation (RDN) has been shown to restore endogenous neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and reduce sympathetic drive during chronic heart failure (CHF). The purpose of the present study was to assess the contribution of afferent renal nerves to the nNOS-mediated sympathetic outflow within the PVN in rats with CHF. CHF was induced in rats by ligation of the left coronary artery. Four weeks after surgery, selective afferent RDN (A-RDN) was performed by bilateral perivascular application of capsaicin on the renal arteries. Seven days after intervention, nNOS protein expression, nNOS immunostaining signaling, and diaphorase-positive stained cells were significantly decreased in the PVN of CHF rats, changes that were reversed by A-RDN. A-RDN reduced basal lumbar sympathetic nerve activity in rats with CHF (8.5%±0.5% versus 17.0%±1.2% of max). Microinjection of nNOS inhibitor L-NMMA (L-N
