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

It has long been known that chronic metabolic disease is associated with a parallel increase in the risk for developing peripheral vascular disease. Although more clinically relevant, our understanding about reversing established vasculopathy is limited compared with our understanding of the mechanisms and development of impaired vascular structure/function under these conditions. Using the 13-wk-old obese Zucker rat (OZR) model of metabolic syndrome, where microvascular dysfunction is sufficiently established to contribute to impaired skeletal muscle function, we imposed a 7-wk intervention of chronic atorvastatin treatment, chronic treadmill exercise, or both. By 20 wk of age, untreated OZRs manifested a diverse vasculopathy that was a central contributor to poor muscle performance, perfusion, and impaired O
