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

ELABELA (ELA), a 32-residue hormone peptide abundantly expressed in adult kidneys, has been identified as a novel endogenous ligand for APJ/Apelin receptor. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ELA in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)/salt-induced hypertension and further explore the underlying mechanism. In DOCA/salt-treated rats, the mRNA level of ELA greatly decreased in the renal medulla. Next, overexpression of ELA in the kidney was found to attenuate DOCA/salt-induced hypertension and renal injury, including lower blood pressure, reversed glomerular morphological damage, decreased blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and blocked the accumulation of fibrotic markers. Mechanistically, ELA overexpression inhibited renal nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity and subsequent reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, thus resulted in the blockade of formation and activation of Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. The inhibitory effects of ELA on Aldosterone-stimulated NADPH oxidase/ROS/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway were confirmed in the human renal tubular cells. Furthermore, our in vivo and in vitro results showed that the deficiency of the apelin receptor APJ did not influence the antihypertensive effect and blockage to NADPH oxidase/ROS/NLRP3 pathway of ELA. Moreover, in heterozygous ELA knockout mice (ELA
