Pancreatic Microcirculation Profiles in the Progression of Hypertension in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats.
Article in American journal of hypertension, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundEmerging evidence indicates that the pancreas serves as a major source of degrading protease activities and that uncontrolled proteolytic receptor cleavage occurs under hypertensive conditions, which leading to systemic dysfunction and end-organic damage. However, changes in pancreatic microcirculation profiles during the progression of hypertension remain unknown.
methodsPancreatic microcirculatory blood distribution patterns and microvascular vasomotion of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and normotensive control Wistar Kyoto rats at 5, 8, 13, and 18 weeks of age were determined. Wavelet transform analysis was performed to convert pancreatic microhemodynamic signals into time-frequency domains and construct 3-dimensional spectral scalograms. The amplitudes of characteristic oscillators including endothelial, neurogenic, myogenic, respiratory, and cardiac oscillators were compared among groups. Plasma nitrite/nitrate levels were measured using a Griess reaction. Additionally, endothelin-1, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, and interleukin-6 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
resultsSHRs exhibited a reduced blood distribution pattern with progressively decreased average blood perfusion, amplitude, and frequency of microvascular vasomotion. Wavelet transform spectral analysis revealed significantly reduced amplitudes of endothelial oscillators from 8- to 18-week-old SHRs. Additionally, the blood microcirculatory chemistry complements explained the microhemodynamic profiles partially, as demonstrated by an increase in plasma nitrite/nitrate, endothelin-1, malondialdehyde, and interleukin-6 levels and a decreased superoxide dismutase level in SHRs.
conclusionsPancreatic microcirculation profiles are abnormal in the progression of hypertension in SHRs, including a disarranged blood distribution pattern, impaired microvascular vasomotion, and reduced amplitudes of endothelial oscillators.
