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

Previous studies have suggested the presence of a tissue renin-angiotensin II system in the pancreas. These studies were based on the observation of several key components of the renin-angiotensin II system using molecular biological, biochemical and pharmacological approaches. In the present study, angiotensin II was localized immunohistochemically in the mouse pancreas using an indirect immunoperoxidase-staining technique. The results showed that angiotensin II-like immunoreactivity was localized predominantly in the endothelial cells of pancreatic blood vessels and the epithelial cells of pancreatic ducts from a subgroup of the vessels and ducts. Compared with those found in the pancreatic blood vessels and ductal system, a less pronounced immunoreactivity for angiotensin II was also observed in the acinar cells and in the smooth muscle layers overlying the pancreatic ducts as well as the blood vessels. However, no angiotensin II-like immunoreactivity was detected in the islet cells. Taken together with previous findings, the present results suggest a local angiotensin II-forming system in the mouse pancreas, which may be a significant autocrine or paracrine modulator of diverse pancreatic functions, including regulation of pancreatic blood flow and pancreatic anion secretion.
