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 present study is designed for the assessment of various pathological changes like immunoglobins, C-reactive protein, vitamin D, sodium, potassium, calcium in stress-induced hypertensive rats. Albino Wistar rats of sex male were grouped into six. Each group consists of six animals. Groups were Group I (normal control), Group II (disease control), Group III (amlodipine control), Group IV (atenolol control), Group V (amlodipine treatment), and Group VI (atenolol treatment). Group II, V, and VI animals exposed to regular stress by placing them in cages individually and giving foot electric shocks (1 mA, 50 ms duration with 0.5-1 min of intervals regulated randomly by a computer) along with forced swimming (30 min) in order to induce hypertension in rats. This stress was given two times daily (morning and evening) for regular 15 days. Induction of hypertension was confirmed by measuring the tail arterial pressure of blood and angiotensin II. For next 1 month, Group III and V animals are treated with amlodipine with 1 mg/kg, s.c. dose while Group IV and VI animals were given 10 mg/kg, s.c. the dose of atenolol once daily. At the end of the experimental work, blood collected, rats sacrificed, and serum separated. Serum sodium, potassium, immunoglobins, C-reactive protein, vitamin D, and calcium were measured by semi-auto-analyzer. Stress-induced hypertension in rats produced altered serum sodium, potassium, immunoglobins, C-reactive protein, vitamin D, and calcium level which is restored by atenolol. Administration of amlodipine in animals without hypertension shows alteration in the level of immunoglobins, calcium, vitamin D, and electrolytes.
