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

objectivePrevious studies demonstrated that deficiency of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) augmented angiotensin II (AngII)-induced atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation in hypercholesterolemic mice. Effects of ACE2 deficiency could arise from increased concentrations of its substrate, AngII, or decreased concentrations of its product, angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)]. Infusion of Ang-(1-7), a Mas receptor (MasR) ligand, to hypercholesterolemic male mice reduced AngII-induced atherosclerosis, suggesting a protective role of the Ang-(1-7)/MasR axis. However, it is unclear whether endogenous Ang-(1-7) acts at MasR to influence AngII-induced vascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to define the role of MasR deficiency in AngII-induced atherosclerosis and AAA formation and severity in hypercholesterolemic male mice.

methodsMasR

resultsMasR deficiency did not influence body weight, systolic blood pressure at baseline and during AngII infusion, or serum cholesterol concentrations in either Apoe

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that MasR deficiency augmented AngII-induced atherosclerosis and AAA rupture through mechanisms involving increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, suggesting that MasR activation may provide therapeutic efficacy against vascular diseases.
