Skin Vascular Resistance Decreases during 5-HT-Induced Hypotension in the Rat.
Article in Biomedicines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A recognized vasodilator, the infusion of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) decreases blood pressure through the reduction of total peripheral resistance in the rat. It is not clear which vascular beds/tissues are responsible for this fall. We hypothesized that an increase in blood flow within the skin, measured as an elevated temperature (T) in the thermoregulatory tail and paws, enables at least part of 5-HT-induced reduction in blood pressure through active vasodilation. The temperature of thermoregulatory regions of the skin of an anesthetized male, Sprague Dawley rats were measured using a Optris PI640 thermal camera. The blood pressure of the animal and the temperature of each paw and four locations along the tail (TL1-4) were recorded before, during, and after the infusion of 5-HT at a rate of 25 mg/min into a femoral vein. Contrary to our hypothesis, the temperature of the paws and tail was stable before and during 5-HT infusion and actually increased during the 15-min recovery period. This finding suggests that hyperemia of the skin circulation is not necessary for the fall in blood pressure observed with infused 5-HT, but that a reduction in cutaneous vascular resistance plays a part in the fall in total peripheral resistance.
