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

Activation of the brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a pivotal step in the pathogenesis of hypertension. The paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus is a critical part of the angiotensinergic sympatho-excitatory neuronal network involved in neural control of blood pressure and hypertension. However, the importance of the PVN (pro)renin receptor (PVN-PRR)-a key component of the brain RAS-in hypertension development has not been examined. In this study, we investigated the involvement and mechanisms of the PVN-PRR in DOCA-salt-induced hypertension, a mouse model of hypertension. Using nanoinjection of adeno-associated virus-mediated Cre recombinase expression to knock down the PRR specifically in the PVN, we report here that PVN-PRR knockdown attenuated the enhanced blood pressure and sympathetic tone associated with hypertension. Mechanistically, we found that PVN-PRR knockdown was associated with reduced activation of ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase)-1/2 in the PVN and rostral ventrolateral medulla during hypertension. In addition, using the genetically encoded Ca
