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

Exposure to traumatic stress can lead to psychopathology, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but may also cause inflammation and cardiovascular dysfunction. Clinical evidence suggests that exposure to traumatic stress, independent of psychopathology development, may be sufficient to induce pathophysiological sequelae, but this has not been thoroughly investigated. Using a novel model of repeated social defeat stress (RSDS) that allows for both sexes, we explored links between the behavioral and physiological consequences of this paradigm. RSDS was sufficiently able to elevate systemic inflammation in both male and female mice, with no observed sex differences. RSDS also induced a heightened blood pressure sensitization response to low dose exogenous angiotensin II (AngII), suggesting the model was also sufficient in generating cardiovascular pathology. Interestingly, the RSDS-induced sensitization to AngII was completely abrogated in mice lacking T-lymphocytes (i.e., Rag2
