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

objectiveHypertension is one of the most prevalent diseases in humans who live a modern lifestyle. Alongside more effective care, clarification of the genetic background of hypertension is urgently required. Gene expression in mesenteric resistance arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP) and two types of renal hypertensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY), two kidneys and one clip renal hypertensive rat (2K1C) and one kidney and one clip renal hypertensive rat (1K1C), was compared using DNA microarrays.

methodsWe used a simultaneous equation and comparative selection method to identify genes associated with hypertension using the Reactome analysis tool and GenBank database.

resultsThe expression of 298 genes was altered between SHR and WKY (44 upregulated and 254 downregulated), while the expression of 290 genes was altered between SHRSP and WKY (83 upregulated and 207 downregulated). For SHRSP versus SHR, the expression of 60 genes was altered (36 upregulated and 24 downregulated). Several genes expressed in SHR and SHRSP were also expressed in the renovascular hypertensive 2K1C and 1K1C rats, indicative of the existence of hyper-renin and/or hypervolemic pathophysiological changes in SHR and SHRSP.

conclusionThe overexpression of Kcnq1, Crlf1, Alb and Xirp1 and the inhibition of Galr2, Kcnh1, Ache, Chrm2 and Slc5a7 expression may indicate that a relationship exists between these genes and the cause and/or worsening of hypertension in SHR and SHRSP.
