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

The impact of hypertension on tissue and organ damage is mediated through its influence on the structure and function of blood vessels. This study aimed to examine the potential of celastrol, a bioactive compound derived from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, in mitigating hypertension-induced energy metabolism disorder and enhancing blood perfusion and vasodilation. In order to investigate this phenomenon, we conducted in vivo experiments on renovascular hypertensive rats, employing indirect calorimetry to measure energy metabolism and laser speckle contrast imaging to evaluate hemodynamics. In vitro, we assessed the vasodilatory effects of celastrol on the basilar artery and superior mesenteric artery of rats using the Multi Wires Myograph System. Furthermore, we conducted preliminary investigations to elucidate the underlying mechanism. Moreover, administration of celastrol at doses of 1 and 2 mg/kg yielded a notable enhancement in blood flow ranging from 6 to 31% across different cerebral and mesenteric vessels in hypertensive rats. Furthermore, celastrol demonstrated a concentration-dependent (1 × 10
