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

mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling has emerged as a key regulator in a wide range of cellular processes ranging from cell proliferation, immune responses, and electrolyte homeostasis. mTOR consists of 2 distinct protein complexes, mTORC1 (mTOR complex 1) and mTORC2 (mTOR complex 2) with distinct downstream signaling events. mTORC1 has been implicated in pathological conditions, such as cancer and type 2 diabetes mellitus in humans, and inhibition of this pathway with rapamycin has been shown to attenuate salt-induced hypertension in Dahl salt-sensitive rats. Several studies have found that the mTORC2 pathway is involved in the regulation of renal tubular sodium and potassium transport, but its role in hypertension has remained largely unexplored. In the present study, we, therefore, determined the effect of mTORC2 inhibition with compound PP242 on salt-induced hypertension and renal injury in salt-sensitive rats. We found that PP242 not only completely prevented but also reversed salt-induced hypertension and kidney injury in salt-sensitive rats. PP242 exhibited potent natriuretic actions, and chronic administration tended to produce a negative Na
