Sympathetic Nerve Activity and Baroreflex are Strongly Altered in a Context of Severe Hypertension Using the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat Model Associated with Chronic Reduction of Nitric Oxide.

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
The aim of our study is to investigate the sympathetic output and baroreflex via renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) recording in a model of severe hypertension which exhibits arterial, cardiac, and renal damages, the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) under lowered NO bioavailability. SHR are treated from 18 to 20 weeks of age with a low dose of L-NAME, a NO synthase inhibitor, in drinking water (SHRLN) and compared to SHR and normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats. After the two-week treatment, rats are anesthetized for RSNA, mean blood pressure (MBP), and heart rate (HR) recording. MBP is higher in SHR than in WKY and higher in SHRLN than in SHR. Compared to WKY, SHR displays an alteration in the baroreflex with a displacement of the sympathoinhibition curve to highest pressures; this displacement is greater in SHRLN rats. The bradycardic response is reduced in SHRLN compared to both SHR and WKY. In hypertensive rats, SHR and SHRLN, basal RSNA is modified, the maximal amplitude of burst is reduced, but minimal values are increased, indicating an increased basal RSNA with reduced bursting activity. The temporal correlation between RSNA and HR is preserved in SHR but altered in 10 SHRLN out of 10. The RSNA inhibition triggered by the Bezold-Jarisch reflex activation is not modified in hypertensive rats, SHR or SHRLN, in contrast to that triggered by the baroreflex. Histological analysis of the carotid bifurcation does not reveal any abnormality in SHRLN at the level of the carotid sinus. In conclusion, data indicate that the sympathetic outflow is altered in SHRLN with a strong reduction of the baroreflex sympathoinhibition and suggest that its central pathway is not involved. These additional results on SHRLN also confirm the usefulness of this model of severe hypertension with multiple target organ damages.
