The role of the kidney in canine blood pressure control: direct assessment of the closed-loop gain.

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
1. The feedback control of arterial blood pressure by the kidney in the range of hours was investigated in resting, conscious foxhounds. 2. A servo-control device (connected to an aortic occlusive cuff implanted above both renal arteries) was used to maintain a constant pressure difference of 20 mmHg between aortic pressure measured proximal (mean arterial blood pressure: MAP) and distal (renal artery pressure: RAP) to the aortic cuff. 3. Protocol 1 (n = 6) served as a 4 h time control without intervention, protocol 2 (n = 6) consisted of three periods: after a control of 20 min duration, the servo-control device was activated for 180 min; this was followed by a recovery period of 40 min. Protocol 3 (n = 6) was as protocol 2, but during converting-enzyme inhibition. 4. Servo-control increased plasma renin activity (PRA) transiently from 0.5 ng angiotensin I (AI) ml-1 h-1 to a peak value of 2.4 ng AI ml-1 h-1, subsequently both RAP and MAP rose to reach a new steady state. During this increase in RAP, PRA declined to 1.4 ng AI ml-1 h-1. 5. On average, the compensation of the pressure decrease sensed by the kidney amounted to 63% of the error signal (closed-loop gain of 0.63 +/- 0.1). 6. Converting-enzyme inhibition reduced this closed-loop gain significantly (protocol 2 vs. protocol 3, 0.63 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.15 +/- 0.1; P < 0.05). 7. It is concluded, that the kidney plays an important role in medium-term blood pressure regulation, most probably via the renin-angiotensin system.
