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

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) of the brain produces a series of biologically active angiotensinogen-derived peptides involved in physiological homeostasis and pathophysiology of disease. Despite significant research efforts to date, a comprehensive understanding of brain RAS physiology is lacking. A significant challenge has been the limited set of bioanalytical assays capable of detecting angiotensin (Ang) peptides at physiologically low concentrations (2-15 fmol/g of wet tissue) and sufficient chemical specificity for unambiguous molecular identifications. Additionally, a complex brain anatomy calls for microanalysis of specific tissue regions, thus further taxing sensitivity requirements for identification and quantification in studies of the RAS. To fill this technology gap, we here developed a microanalytical assay by coupling a laboratory-built capillary electrophoresis (CE) nano-electrospray ionization (nano-ESI) platform to a high-resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS). Using parallel reaction monitoring, we demonstrated that this technology achieved confident identification and quantification of the Ang peptides at approx. 5 amol to 300 zmol sensitivity. This microanalytical assay revealed differential Ang peptide profiles between tissues that were micro-sampled from the subfornical organ and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, important brain regions involved in thirst and water homeostasis and neuroendocrine regulation to stress. Microanalytical CE-nano-ESI-HRMS extends the analytical toolbox of neuroscience to help better understand the RAS.
