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

Recent reports indicate that, in addition to treating hypertension, renal denervation (RDN) also mitigates renal inflammation. However, because RDN decreases renal perfusion pressure, it is unclear whether these effects are because of the direct effects of RDN on inflammatory signaling or secondary to decreased arterial pressure (AP). Therefore, this study was conducted to elucidate the contribution of renal nerves to renal inflammation in the deoxycorticosterone (DOCA)-salt rat, a model in which RDN decreases AP and abolishes renal inflammation. In Experiment 1, we assessed the temporal changes in renal inflammation by measuring renal cytokines and AP in DOCA-salt rats. Uninephrectomized (1K) adult male Sprague Dawley rats that received surgical RDN or sham (Sham) were administered DOCA (100 mg, SC) and 0.9% saline for 21 days. AP was measured by radiotelemetry, and urinary cytokine excretion was measured repeatedly. In Experiment 2, the contribution of renal nerves in renal inflammation was assessed in a 2-kidney DOCA-salt rat to control for renal perfusion pressure. DOCA-salt treatment was administered after unilateral (U-)RDN. In Experiment 1, DOCA-salt-induced increases in AP and renal inflammation (assessed by urinary cytokines) were attenuated by RDN versus Sham. In Experiment 2, GRO/KC (growth-related oncogene/keratinocyte chemoattractant), MCP (monocyte chemoattractant protein)-1, and macrophage infiltration were lower in the denervated kidney versus the contralateral Sham kidney. No differences in T-cell infiltration were observed. Together, these data support the hypothesis that renal nerves mediate, in part, the development of renal inflammation in the DOCA-salt rat independent of hypertension. The mechanisms and cell-specificity mediating these effects require further investigation.
