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 renin-angiotensin system is a major regulatory system controlling extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure. The rate-limiting enzyme in this hormonal cascade is renin, which is synthesized and secreted into the circulation by renal juxtaglomerular (JG) cells. The renal baroreceptor is a key physiologic regulator of renin secretion, whereby a change in renal perfusion pressure is sensed by these cells and results in a change in renin release. However, the mechanism, direct or indirect, underlying pressure transduction is unknown. We studied the direct application of mechanical stretch to rat JG cells and human renin-expressing (CaLu-6) cells on the release of renin. JG cells released a low level of baseline renin, comprising < 5% of their total renin content. By contrast, renin secretion from CaLu-6 cells comprised approximately 30% of cellular stores, yet was also stimulated twofold by 10 microM forskolin (P </= 0.001). In JG cells, mechanical stretch inhibited basal renin release by 42% (P < 0.01) and forskolin-stimulated renin release by 25% (P < 0.05). In CaLu-6 cells, stretch inhibited basal- and forskolin-stimulated renin release by 30 and 26%, respectively (both P < 0.01). Northern blot analysis demonstrated a stretch-induced reduction in baseline renin mRNA accumulation of 26% (P < 0.05) in JG and 46% (P < 0.05) in CaLu-6 cells. The data demonstrate that mechanical stretch in renin-releasing cells inhibits basal and stimulated renin release accompanied by a decrease in renin mRNA accumulation. Further studies will be necessary to characterize the intracellular events mediating biomechanical coupling in renin-expressing cells and the relationship of this signaling pathway to the in vivo baroreceptor control of renin secretion.
