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

We investigated the role of the interaction between hypertension and the renin-angiotensin system in the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that in the early phase of angiotensin II (ANG II)-dependent hypertension with developed left ventricular hypertrophy, cardioprotective mechanism(s) are fully activated. The experiments were performed in transgenic rats with inducible hypertension, noninduced rats served as controls. The early phase of ANG II-dependent hypertension was induced by five-days (5 days) dietary indole-3-carbinol administration. Cardiac hypertrophy, ANG II and ANG 1-7 levels, protein expression of their receptors and enzymes were determined. Separate groups were subjected to acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, and infarct size and ventricular arrhythmias were assessed. Induced rats developed marked cardiac hypertrophy accompanied by elevated ANG levels. Ischemia/reperfusion mortality was significantly higher in induced than noninduced rats (52.1 and 25%, respectively). The blockade of AT1 receptors with losartan significantly increased survival rate in both groups. Myocardial infarct size was significantly reduced after 5 days induction (by 11%), without changes after losartan treatment. In conclusion, we confirmed improved cardiac tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion injury in hypertensive cardiohypertrophied rats and found that activation of AT1 receptors by locally produced ANG II in the heart was not the mechanism underlying infarct size reduction.
