Patients with uncontrolled hypertension subjected to cardiopulmonary bypass have altered coronary vasomotor responses to serotonin.

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
backgroundWe previously found that cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass are associated with altered coronary arteriolar response to serotonin in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. In this study, we investigated the effects of hypertension on coronary microvascular vasomotor tone in response to serotonin and alterations in serotonin receptor protein expression in the setting of cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass.
methodsCoronary arterioles were dissected from harvested pre- and post-cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass right atrial tissue samples of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with normotension, well-controlled hypertension, and uncontrolled hypertension. Vasomotor tone was assessed by video-myography, and protein expression was measured with immunoblotting.
resultsPre-cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass, serotonin induced moderate relaxation responses of coronary arterioles in normotension and well-controlled hypertension patients, whereas serotonin caused moderate contractile responses in uncontrolled hypertension patients. Post-cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass, serotonin caused contractile responses of coronary arterioles in all 3 groups. The post-cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass contractile response to serotonin was significantly higher in the uncontrolled hypertension group compared with the normotension or well-controlled hypertension groups (P < .05). Pre-cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass, expression of the serotonin 1A receptor was significantly lower in the uncontrolled hypertension group compared with the well-controlled hypertension and normotension groups (P = .01 and P < .001). Serotonin 1B receptor expression was higher in the uncontrolled hypertension group compared with the normotension or well-controlled hypertension groups post-cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass (P = .03 and P = .046).
conclusionUncontrolled hypertension is associated with an increased coronary contractile response of coronary microvessels to serotonin and altered serotonin receptor protein expression after cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass. These findings may contribute to a worse postoperative coronary spasm and worsened recovery of coronary perfusion in patients with uncontrolled hypertension after cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac surgery.
