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 vascular response to bradykinin was investigated in mesenteric vascular bed preparations preconstricted with methoxamine, obtained from 2- and 18-month old normotensive (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats. In preparations from young normotensive rats bradykinin (1 nm-10 microM) produced an endothelium-dependent vasorelaxant effect which was greatly reduced by the B2 receptor antagonist Ac-D-Arg[Hyp3,D-Phe7,Leu8]-bradykinin (1 microM), and was unaffected by the B1 receptor antagonist des-Arg9,[Leu8]-bradykinin (1 microM). The degree of vasodilation was similar in preparations from age-matched SHR rats. In vessels obtained from old animals bradykinin induced an endothelium-independent vasoconstrictor response; this effect was more pronounced in preparations from SHR than in those from WKY rats. The vasoconstriction was unaffected by both B1 and B2 receptor antagonists, and was abolished by 3 microM indomethacin. We conclude that the vasorelaxant effect of bradykinin in vessels of young animals is due to stimulation of B2 receptors. This vasodilating response can be converted by aging to a vasoconstriction and is probably due to the release of a prostanoid product; moreover it is more pronounced in spontaneously hypertensive animals.
