Specialized Pro-resolving Mediator Improves Vascular Relaxation via Formyl Peptide Receptor-2.
Article in American journal of hypertension, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe resolution of inflammation is an active phenomenon important for switching off inflammatory processes once the harmful stimuli are removed and facilitate the return to homeostasis. Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), such as lipoxin A4, resolvin D1, and resolvin E1, derived from ω-3 or ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, are crucial for the resolution of inflammation. We hypothesized that SPMs are decreased in hypertension which contributes to the acetylcholine-induced contraction in resistance arteries, which are well known to be mediated by leukotrienes and prostaglandins. Moreover, treatment with SPMs will decrease this contraction via formyl peptide receptor-2 (FPR-2) in resistance arteries from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS AND
resultsWe performed a comprehensive eicosanoid lipid panel analysis, and our data showed for the first time that precursors of SPMs are decreased in SHR, limiting the production of SPMs and resolution of inflammation in vivo. This phenomenon was associated with an increase in lipid peroxidation in resistance arteries. Although SPMs did not abolish acetylcholine-induced contraction, these lipid mediators improved endothelial function in arteries from SHR via FPR-2 activation at nanomolar concentrations. SPMs also buffered TNF-α-induced reactive oxygen species generation in endothelial cells from C57Bl/6 mice.
conclusionsWe suggest that FPR-2 and SPMs could be revealed as a new target or therapeutic agent to improve vascular function in arteries from hypertensive rats.
