Consequences of hyperandrogenemia during pregnancy in female offspring: attenuated response to angiotensin II.
Article in Journal of hypertension, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by reproductive and metabolic dysfunction, and elevated blood pressure (BP). The cardiometabolic consequences of maternal hyperandrogenemia on offspring, either as adults or with aging, have not been well studied. We previously found that male offspring of hyperandrogenemic female (HAF) rats, a model of PCOS, are normotensive but have an exaggerated pressor response to angiotensin (Ang) II.
methodIn this study, the hypothesis was tested that adult and aging female offspring of HAF rats develop a metabolic and hypertensive phenotype. Control and HAF rats were implanted prepubertally with placebo or dihydrotestosterone pellets, which continued throughout pregnancy and lactation.
resultsFemale offspring of HAF dams had lower birth weight than female control offspring. Although female HAF offspring (aged 16-24 weeks) had no differences in intrarenal Ang II, plasma lipids or proteinuria, they did have lower intrarenal Ang (1-7) and lower nitrate/nitrite excretion than controls. Adult HAF offspring had similar baseline BP as controls, but had an attenuated pressor response to Ang II. With aging (16-20 months), female HAF offspring remained normotensive with an attenuated pressor response to Ang II and high salt diet but more proteinuria and higher intrarenal Ang(1-7) than controls.
conclusionTaken together, these data suggest that female HAF offspring are protected from developing hypertension, but may be at risk for renal injury with aging. Future studies are necessary to determine whether adult and postmenopausal offspring of PCOS women are at increased risk for cardiovascular dysfunction.Graphical abstract:http://links.lww.com/HJH/B820.
