Wire Myography for Dorsal Aorta and Mesenteric Resistance Arteries from Mice and Rats.
Article in Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Wire myography is a widely used ex vivo technique for the quantitative assessment of vascular function in isolated arteries. Because large conduit and small resistance arteries differ fundamentally in structure and physiological role, analyzing both vessel classes in parallel using arteries harvested from the same mouse or rat enables paired comparisons that reduce inter-animal variability and reveal vessel-specific functional changes. This article presents a step-by-step protocol for assessing vascular reactivity in isolated murine conduit and resistance arteries using isometric wire myography. We describe the preparation of fresh, oxygenated physiological buffer; careful dissection, cleaning, and mounting of arterial segments; and normalization to set vessels near their optimal length for active force generation. A troubleshooting guide and an example experimental sequence for generating cumulative concentration-response curves to standard vasoconstrictors and vasodilators are provided. This protocol allows quantitative measurement of both endothelial and smooth muscle function and facilitates detection of vessel-specific alterations in vascular reactivity associated with vascular disease, such as hypertension.
