Lactate orchestrates metabolic hemodynamic adaptations through a unique combination of venocontraction, artery relaxation, and positive inotropy.
Article in Acta physiologica (Oxford, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimH
methodsComparing the actions of pH-adjusted Na-carboxylates to equiosmolar NaCl, we study arteries and veins isolated from healthy rats and humans with ischaemic heart disease, isolated perfused rat hearts, and rat cardiovascular function in vivo.
resultsThe tested carboxylates generally relax arteries and veins. L-lactate relaxes human and rat arteries up to 70% (EC
conclusionCarboxylate metabolites generally relax arteries and veins. L-lactate relaxes arteries, lowering systemic vascular resistance, causes preferential venocontraction with increased ventricular diastolic filling, and elevates cardiac contractility and cardiac output. We propose that L-lactate optimizes cardiovascular function during metabolic disturbances.
