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

Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Besides cardiovascular system, it could cause damage to liver. It has been shown that endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. ERS inhibitor tauroursodeoxycholic-acid (TUDCA) has favorable effects on various pathologies including cardiovascular, metabolic and hepatic diseases. In this study, the hepatoprotective effect and mechanism of TUDCA were investigated in the deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt-induced hypertension. Male Wistar rats were used and divided into four groups: Control, DOCA, TUDCA and DOCA + TUDCA. Hypertension was induced by DOCA-salt administration for twelve weeks after the unilateral nephrectomy. TUDCA was given for the last 4 weeks. Systolic blood pressure was measured by using tail-cuff method. At the end of the treatment, liver was isolated and weighed. The expressions of various proteins and histopathological evaluation were examined in the liver. TUDCA markedly decreased systolic blood pressure in the hypertensive animals. Hypertension caused increase in the expressions of glucose-regulated protein-78 (GRP78), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and phospho-inhibitor κB-α (p-IκB-α) and the decrease in the expression of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca
